This first one is for my husband. I stamped Ship Collage by River C
ity Rubber Works on vellum and colored the image on the back side with alcohol markers. I then adhered it to a slightly larger piece of white, then red, then tan cardstock.I cut red cardstock slightly smaller than my square card so I would have a fine white border. I passed the blue cardstock through my corregator before mounting it on to the red.
My tip for using a corregator - trim the sides to the desired size bit leave the length about a half inch longer. The corrugator uses up length and if you cut it to size your finished piece will be too short. You can trim the length if necessary after its corrugated.
I adhered the corrugated panel and the image to the red base. I created tabs with my MiGill punch (you could also put one end of a paper strip in a circle punch). I stamped Happy Fathers Day (from Stamping Sensations - I love that set) on the white and edged it slightly with red ink. I mounted the tabs and added big eyelets through all the layers (go Cropadile!). Then I just mounted on my square white card.
This card is for my Dad (gonna arrive late...sigh...)
The layout and process was very similar, it just an A2 card instead of square and has a few less layers.
The background was made by combining wax paper technique with the alcohol ink polished stone. I crinkled up wax paper and ironed it on to glossy cardstock (protect your iron!). Then I dabbed Stonewash, Denim and Stream Alcohol Inks and blender solution over the surface.
Now - to actually get some gifts!
