A very good morning to you all. I am very pleased to be here with another card using the gorgeous Spread Your Wings stamp set from Crafty Purple Frog.
Ok let's get going. For this card I opted to go with a blue theme as the stamp set has a swan in it, so the blue tied in the water element for me. First of all I used the Splash Stencil with Tumbed Glass Oxide ink and a blender brush (I already have these in use but will link to some others in the supplies list below) to get these super cute little rain drops trickling down my card front..I used a C6 size card for this.
Once I have my card front stencilled, I cut out a frame from the Time for Tea Designs Zig Zag Frame and Tags die set from blue card stock, and 2 pieces which were taller than needed using the Heffy Doodle Slopey Joe dies..they will be used to give the effect of water and we can cut them down when we know how tall they need to be. The frame and card base will also be trimmed down at the end as the Zig Zag Frame is an American sizing..however this really doesn't matter as it can still work.
Now we have to stamp and colour the swan and lots of reeds. For the swan I just outlined him in a very pale grey..Copic marker C1, and for the reeds I used E71, E57 and YG05.
When you have coloured them go ahead and cut them all out...it took me quite a while as fussy cutting isn't my forte but these images are really worth taking the time over. Once I had cut them all out I decided to take some Salty Ocean Oxide ink and my blender brush to add a different tone on the water edges and the Zig Zag frame. I then started to lay out all my pieces to see the card coming together.
As I was laying this card out I decided to add a shaker element to give the card some movement and try and add a little splash! I used some sequins I had in my stash. You will need a piece of acetate big enough to fit behind the frame. Time to put this card together.
The little sparkles are just the perfect finiahing touch
