You are unique

Hi everybody, Maria here.  For todays card, I return to the Jordan Girl stamp by Picket Fence available from The Little Paper Tree.  This time I have made a small 5"x5" card.  Sometimes when you are posting the larger handmade cards you have to pay for the Large stamps, this one can be posted with a normal 1st Class Stamp.

To make this card you will need:
Jordan Girl stamp set - Picket Fence
5x5" white card base
Silver mirror card
White stamping card
Catherine Pooler Minis - ink set Carnivale
Masking paper or masking fluid
Versifine
Versamark
White embossing powder
Sentiment from No Probllama stamp set
Coloured Pencils
Spare cardstock from stash
3D foam pads
Double sided tape
Tacky Glue

Here is how I made it:

1. Stamp the Jordan Girl stamp onto a piece of 4x4.5" stamping card
2. Stamp the shirt part of the girl on a piece of patterned card from stash - I used part of an old background sheet I made previously.
3. Cut out the shirt.
4. Colour the image using colour pencils and glue the shirt on top of the image.
5. Mask off the image and using the Coral Cabana ink from the Catherine Pooler minis ink set blend in the rest of the card.
6. Splash water onto the ink and let dry to give you the spotted effect.
7. Stamp the sentiment with Versamark and emboss with white embossing powder.
8. Mount some scrap card onto the mirror card and stick to the card base.
9. Use another piece of scrap card and also attach to the card base.
10. Attach the topper with 3D foam pads and your card is complete.

Too Darn Hot

Still Kicking Ass

Want a card with a different sort of sentiment than just the normal Happy Birthday?  Here is a card I made for my little sister

 

Or

I went with the top image as it suited my sister better. The girl images are by Bee Crafty Along with the stencils and stamps in the background. The top sentiment is from a stamp set by Doodlins by Donna. These are a great set of quirky sentiments.
