HI friends! I've got a fun and sparkly card to share with you today using the new Sara Girl stamp and Paper Glaze Luxe in Lime Soda! Also, I'll be using the existing Framed Leaves stencil!
I fell in love with Sara Girl just as soon as I saw her, so I've used her a few times this month! First, I stamped her in permanent black ink. Next, I colored her hair and face. The hair is colored with alcohol inks n shades of pink, giving her a funky and modern look! I applied Paper Splatters Watercolor in Kiwi Lime over the pennant on her necklace. Then I die cut her and a piece of black and white cardstock in 3 rectangle sizes and glued them together. I think that makes a nice frame for Sara!
Next, I focused on the background. Starting with 5.5x4.25 piece of black cardstock, I placed the cardstock on the PFS Paper Inking Palette sized 5x6 and then placed the stencil over the paper and the palette. These palettes are incredible because they have a sticky surface, making it perfect for stenciling or ink blending! They come in a variety of sizes too! Once I had the stencil and cardstock in place, I applied the Lime Soda Paper Glaze Luxe through the stencil with a palette knife and then immediately removed the stencil. I set the card panel aside to dry. The glaze dries very quickly!!!
Once the glaze was dried, you could see the lime shimmer through the black cardstock, and I loved the contrast of black against lime! In person it is much, much more shimmery! I adhered Sara Girl over the background panel. NOTE: Sometimes glue doesn't adhere well to a surface like the glaze, so I used a strong adhesive and that did the trick. Also, I thought about adding a sentiment, but this card panel was so lovely that I didn't want to add to it, so I'll put one on the inside of the card for my recipient!
This card was so easy to put together because of the paper glaze and the details in the Sara Girl stamp! I'm so glad you stopped by today! You can find the products I've used for today's card by hovering over the item name and then clicking on it. That will take you to the PFS shop!
