Happy weekend, craft friends! If you still read my blog, you may remember last year’s POST featuring another cute band of musical animals. Tomorrow, one of Damian’s friends turns 16 and I’m pretty sure that if it were up to my son, this wouldn’t have been the card of his choice. Lucky for me, I’ve been talking to the birthday boy’s mother and she said that he would absolutely love a cute card! I was so happy about that. 😉
The last time I used Avery Elle‘s Forest Dance Party stamp set and coordinating dies was when Damian and I collaborated on this CARD for Father’s Day last year. This set is currently on clearance at all stores listed in the links below so be sure to grab it before it’s gone! Both Damian and his friend play drums but they also play trumpet and guitar, respectively, so these animals are absolutely perfect for this card.
I stamped all of the images and sentiments with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and clear heat embossed them on watercolour cardstock. Then I used mini distress inks smooshed on a silicone mat to watercolour them. When they were dry, I die cut them and set them aside to work on the Reveal Wheel panel from watercolour cardstock and ink blended it (top down) using Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet, Dusty Concord, Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss distress inks. Then I splattered the panel with Tsukineko Sparkle Shimmer Spritz.
I cut a piece of My Favorite Things Colorful Canvas patterned paper in Chantilly Cream and cut it with the Spellbinders Precision Layering A2 A Dies so it would cover the card base. Then I cut the wheel itself from heavyweight white cardstock as well as from Lawn Fawn‘s Really Rainbow patterned paper in Purple Posies. Then I used the Reveal Wheel Friends & Family Sentiments to heat emboss on the wheel before assembling all the pieces on the card base.
