Happiness is Handmade

Hi everyone! Ilina here! I hope you love this month's My Monthly Hero add-on collection as much as I do. For today's card I am using few products from the release with the focal point being the Tin of Brushes wood block stamp.

To make the card, start by stamping the image onto Dove White cardstock with Intense Black ink and color with alcohol markers. Once done, apply Clear Lacquer Pen onto the brushes and the dripping paint. Set it aside to dry.

In the meantime die cut the second to the largest Wood Frame Infinity Die three times from Pitch Black cardstock. Adhere two of them together using strong adhesive. Let it dry.

On piece of vellum stamp sentiment from the Handmade Happiness set with Versamark and emboss with White embossing powder. Trim to size, making the strip little shorter than the width of the wood frame die cut. Adhere the strip across the frame and adhere the third frame on top. Let it dry. Trim the panel with the paint brushes little smaller than the frame and adhere on the back of the frame.

Cut piece of Pebble cardstock measuring 4" x 5 1/4" and stamp the Crafting Tools Bold Print background stamp using Versamark.

Adhere the frame on top and then using fun foam or foam mounting tape, adhere the entire panel onto a Top Folding Dove White note card.

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you have a creative day!

This sentiment says it all…great design to celebrate crafting. tfs

Helen,

I love the colorful colorful paint brushes and the perfectly suited sentiment!

Judy,

Love this card Ilina. The kit is awesome and the add-ons are just as good. The tin/brushes is a great stamp as we all have at least one tin/cup holding such items on our desks. LOL The wood frames are so lovely and could be used on ANY card and for ANY occasion, definitely a staple set of dies.
Well done as always!

Teresa Doyle,

I love this card! Your coloring looks beautiful and the way you framed the image is just perfect. :)

Terrie D.,
