Crafty Birthday with Tracey

Hi friends, it’s Tracey back again today to share a little paint splatter birthday card for a crafty friend!

I created my background with the Studio Katia Ink Splash Stencil, this has to be one of my favourite stencils! I used post it tape to mask off different parts of the stencil as I blended Distress Oxide Inks with the Studio Katia Ink Blender Brushes. I spritzed some water over the whole panel when I was done and picked up the some of the colour with a paper towel for interest. I cut the ink blended panel using the Scallop Honeycomb Cover Die and set it aside while I worked on the rest of the card.

I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday Greetings Stamp set on the panel in black just above the centre point of the card. I thought this sentiment would go perfectly with this artsy card for a crafty friend.

I stamped the two images from the Artsy Trimmings stamp set with Copic friendly ink and cut the images out with the co-ordinating Artsy Trimmings dies. Then I fussy cut some of the three different paint tubes from the die cut image. Fussy cutting front the piece cut with the dies is usually easier especially when the image falls to the end of the piece. I coloured the paint tubes with Copic markers to match the splatters on the ink blended panel.

The card base was matted with black cardstock and I attached the Scallop Honeycomb Cover to it with Studio Katia White Doubled Sided Foam Tape for dimension. Then I added the paint tubes on to the panel also with Studio Katia White Doubled Sided Foam Tape.

To add a little more fun to the card I added Carmine Red Crystals, Peridot Crystals, Mint Dream Crystals, Ocean Wave Crystals and Cupid’s Kiss Crystals with the Studio Katia Embellishment Wand. I chose colours that matched with the ink blended splatters. Now it is really the perfect card for a crafty friend!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope that you are staying safe.
