CHILDS BIRTHDAY CARD WITH CLOSE TO MY HEART ALCOHOL MARKERS AND ICECREAM DREAM SOTM



Item Number: S1506

Its available for purchase all year round for $27.00 from your CTMH Consultant
or from June 1st - 30th you can purchase it for only $5.00 with EVERY $75.00 you spend.


My Apologies in advance, my photography just doesn't do this card justice.

My favourite techniques in cardmaking are Stamping and Alcohol Markers. Close To My heart sell SHIN HAN Alcohol markers and they are right up there with the best of them.  I just love this months Stamp of the month Ice Cream dreams because i got to make a card with the two things i love the most.  What the photo doesn't show you, is the shading and the fading in out of the colours in each of the individual sections of each of the stamps or the depth of the 3D of each of the images.  Each section of each of the stamps are outlined with glitter pens in the same colours as the Shin Han Markers.  When working with Alcohol Markers a good rule to follow is either to use Memento Ink, Ive used black in this instance or you can use Stazon Ink and or Heat emboss your stamped image.  This assists in helping the alcohol colouring from bleeding or feathering on your image. You should always use a semi glossy white card stock to stamp your images on.

The SHIN HAN COLOURS used in the card are: YR29 Barely Beige, B68 Turquoise Blue, R11, B262 Blue, YR24 Marigold.  Ive just loved working with this months stamp of the month (SOTM) and getting back in touch with the inner child in me.

The road that is stamped comes from the Close To My Heart My Acrylix FAST AND FURIOUS set.
 Which is another great stamp set for kids. Item Number: D1541

    1. Thank you Vandra, I took the photo late at night underneath a lamp and the card was on an angle, creating the shadow off the icecreams. T

  4. Love it Tracey - a very fun card. I am now thinking I should have done the same idea with the road out of the Fast & Furious set - oh well that is what this all about sharing ideas & different ways at looking at the images.

  5. Great card! the colours you have used have made it look old fashioned, like the days when the icecream parlour was the place for cool kids to hang out.
