My Sweet Petunia: Waffle Flowers Birthday Card

Hi friends and welcome back. It's Sandi MacIver here and I have a new card making technique video to share with you.

This card is created with paper crafting products from Waffle Flowers and PinkFresh. The video starts with a quick copic coloring tutorial on the florals and then moves on to an Ink Blending and Splatter Background Technique using Hero Arts Reactive Ink Pads.

It's a start to finish card tutorial.

This card was also created for the Misti Monday Challenge for January over on the Splitcoast Stampers Site. The challenge this month is to Use Pink on Your Cards to express your gratitude for your Misti and the My Sweet Petunia Company.

I use my Misti many different ways in today's video and I love it and appreciate having it so much. I hope you will join in the challenge.

Use the Misti to stamp the floral images onto Hammermill white cardstock using Gina K Amalgam Ink (Copic Friendly).

Color the image with Copic Markers: Pinks: RV10, RV13, RV14, RV19
Greens: YG13, G02, G13

Next, use the coordinating dies to cut out the images and set them aside.

Creating the Background:

Using the Waffle Flower Stencil Mat, ink blend Hero Arts Reactive Ink in Pool Party over the entire surface of the card front.

Next, go around the edges with the Blue Raspberry Ink. Lay the Waffle Flowers Snowfall Background stencil over the piece and blend more ink through the stencil.

Finally, splatter the card front with water, then white and gold ink. Set aside to dry Die cut two frames using the Pinkfresh Diagonal Stitched Rectangles. I like the added detail in the stitching, it adds so much interest to a card. Attach it with foam tape and then add the florals.

Adding the Sentiment:

The sentiment is die cut three times in white using the Simon Says Stamp Happy Birthday Script die.

Stack and attach in the top right corner.

Finally, embellish with gems from the Pinkfresh Essentials Jewel Mix
