Hi friends! What day is it? LOL! I've been writing so many posts I don't even know if I'm coming or going! My husband is away on a business trip this week so Buddy and I are alone here in the studio but we miss our guy. I have a lot to accomplish this week, though, so hopefully it will go by fast and he'll be home before I miss him. I hope that you have a wonderful week ahead.
Thanks for coming by each day to see my projects from the Papertrey Ink September release! Today's card features the gorgeous Cutaway Tags Winter stamps and die. I made a really vintage and shabby chic card with these products and gave it a twist by using big bold striped paper! Hope you like it!
This finished card is a five inch square. I used the new Chartreuse Patterned paper in the big stripes to completely cover my card base. I inked all around the edges with Distress Inks and a sponge dauber. The square layer in the center was cut from watercolor paper, as was the Cutaway Tag die. You can use any type of water based ink or watercolors to watercolor the flowers and leaves if you use watercolor paper to start!
I die cut a PTI Banner and stamped the sentiment onto it to layer over the Cutaway Tag die. I really inked up everything to make it look vintage and aged!! If you look closely you can see that I used my Finetec Gold watercolor paints to add hints of gold to the leaves and flowers. I also used gold ink to splatter over the entire project. OOOOHHHH LA LA!!!
These gold paints should be in everyone's studio! I use them alllll the time, and they never go down! They are the perfect shimmer!!
In this photo I'm hoping you can see the gold. I used a tiny paint brush to dab some gold here and there. Nothing too specific.
I attached the Cutaway Tag to the card using foam tape so that there would be some dimension off the other paper. I also used foam tape to attach the sentiment banner.
I've been saying it for a few days now – THANK YOU! Thank you for joining me on this release week! CLICK HERE TO shop the new release. CLICK HERE to go to the Official Papertrey Ink Blog to see what the rest of the design team is up to today! XOXO
