Hello everyone! Back again as promised. I have been interested in participating in card challenges for a while now. I often look to sketches for inspiration on how to layout a card. I had a few birthday cards to make, so I thought it was a prime opportunity to try out this CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #125. For Card 1, I penciled marked on how wide I wanted the stencil on top and bottom and that gave me the center space for the solid line. I taped down half the stencil and used a mini ink blender to blend in the ink. Then I used painter's tape to block off the stenciling and used a mini blender to fill in the Grape Jelly center line. For the sentiment, I used the Big Birthday Wishes in Momento Tuxedo Black Ink but I wanted it a little less bold, so I stamped off first and used the second generation on the card. I did the same process for the Happy Birthday. I added Wink of Stella over the sentiment and it darkened up the ink slightly.
On the inside of card 1 I used the Grape Jelly and Razzberry to ink up the sentiment. As you can tell a little bit of the colors blended. I liked the way it turned out. For Card 2, I used the same stenciling technique but this time over patterned paper from My Mind's Eye. I penciled out and masked the center line and used a mini ink blender to blend in the center line color. For the sentiments I used first generation stamping. I added a hand-drawn exclamation point after the first line sentiment and the wavy lines under the second line sentiment. I also put some Wink of Stella in the stenciling. On the inside of card 2 I used Rhubarb Stalk and Peacock Feathers for the sentiment and candle. For the flame of the candle I originally stamped it in Momento Tuxedo Black but didn't like it so I cutout a flame from the golden yellow paper I used on the front to cover it up. I also added Wink of Stella on the candle base. Thanks again for stopping by!
