Summer Slimline Card

Hello friends, I have a summery slimline card to share with you today featuring brand new products from Scrapbook.com, and also the newly released Sizzix + Stacey Parks release. Scrapbook.com is celebrating International Scrapbook Day today in a big way. I'll have a coupon code for you further down, as well as creative details below, including testing out the new Scrapbook.com Lustre white and black brush markers which are great for creating paint splatters. I'll have also have a clickable supply list at the end, if you'd like more product information or wish to shop.

The dimensions of my slimline card are 8 x 3 1/4 inches. As I stated in my previous post, I tend to eyeball everything while creating and measure later, haha. I used Neenah cardstock to trim and score my slimline card.

To start, I grabbed a piece of the Scrapbook.com 6x8 inch white mixed media paper and stamped a few images from the Sizzix/Stacey Park Farfallina stamp set. I also did some masking over my images and then stenciled over the top with the Sizzix/Stacey Park Ecliptic Adornment stencil, ink blending with blender brushes and Catherine Pooler Ink.

I should mention that I watercolored my images with a waterbrush and Catherine Pooler Ink, prior to the stenciling.

Here's a breakdown on the CP inks:

Stenciling: Daydream/Aquatini

Watercoloring: Orange Twist/Catching Rays/Eucalyptus/Daydream

Ink Smooshing: Orange Twist/Aquatini

When I stamped my images above, I spaced them out, because I had intentions of die cutting my images. I used the Sizzix/Stacey Park Alena Arched Circle dies with my Platinum 6 to create these focal, circle images for my card.

Have you seen the new Lustre brush markers from Scrapbook.com? I took the black and white brushes for a spin, and splattered all over my die cut images. It was so easy and I'm already in love with them!

I also die cut some circles as a backing for my images, using the Scrapbook.com Vacation paper pad. I love the colors in this collection. Obviously, they're very summery, which again, fits in nicely with my theme. All of my images and sentiments are popped up on SBC adhesive strips.

I also created an ink smooshed background with Catherine Pooler Inks on the 6x8 inch white mixed media paper. I wanted to tie in all my colors together for this summery card, and of course, I love making pretty messes! I trimmed it down to adhere it nicely to my slimline card.

I trimmed off a leftover ink smooshed strip as a base for my sentiment which are word dies from the Sizzix/Stacey Park Thinlits Swank Spirals die set. I love that you get not only the large dies, but also these cute little word dies with this set. It's like a bonus! The words fit perfectly for the theme of my card, too!

This was such a fun card to make. I love getting inky and incorporating that into my cardmaking. If you'd like to shop for any of the products that I used today, you have until tomorrow to use coupon code CELEBRATE at checkout for an additional 12% off your entire purchase. Be sure and stop by the coupon section for any freebies. As of this writing, there are 3 available but you must add them to your cart. I hope you have a great weekend. See you next time!
