Hello crafty friends, I’m passing by to share a 5×7 card idea using Feathered Friends (#642) and Caffeinated (#559) Stamp Sets by AALL & Create.
To add colour to the images, I used Distress inks and a Nuvo Water Brush.

THE CARDMAKING PROCESS
Feathered Friends #642 and Caffeinated #559…
- First, I stamped the images from the Feathered Friends (#642) and Caffeinated (#559) stamp sets using Gathered Twigs Distress Ink over Strathmore watercolour paper ( 300 grams).
- I used the Misti stamping tool to stamp over and over and get sharper images on the watercolour paper.
- Then, I added colour using the Distress inks ( listed above).
- To do this, I applied ink over my glass mat and using a Nuvo water brush I lifted the ink from the mat to then apply it over the images.
- I used yellow shades mainly. Brown and red to add shadows and contrast.
- Next, I fussy cut the images using scissors and set them apart.
The background piece...
- First, I cut a piece of smooth cardstock slightly smaller than 5×7 inches.
- Then, I added a texture using Lotza dots Stencil #39 and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink mixed with a little bit of Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.
- Using the Misti and a Brown Memento Ink, I stamped the coffee cup and I overlap the sunflower image over.
- Next, I foam mounted the coloured images over so this card has a little bit of dimension.
The sentiment
I added a hot filed sentiment to this card using:
- Gold Hot Foil
- The Spellbinders Hot Foil System and Platinum Die-Cutting Machine.
- Spellbinders We Dance Glimmer Set ( sentiment)
Finishing Touches
- To add definition to the images, I also used a black coloured pencil here and there.
- I also added sparkle silk and to embellish I added yellow sequins.
- To add accents, I used a black glaze pen and a white pen.
That’s all for today.
I hope you like this project.
