Instructions:
1.
Sponge Pretty Peacock ink with a
Blending Brush onto the Pool Party Cardstock, creating a darker edge, and a
lighter area in the middle.
2.
When the ink is dry, stamp a sentiment
from the Joy to You Stamp Set in the center with Versamark Ink, and heat emboss
with white embossing powder.
3.
Using the small star stamp from the
Merriest Trees Stamp Set, randomly stamp stars on the background with Versamark
Ink, and heat emboss with gold embossing powder.
4.
Cover the sentiment with a small piece
of paper or post-it note. Squeeze a little of the White Craft Refill onto an
acrylic block. Add one or two drops of
water from a Water Painter and mix well.
Pick up some ink with the Water Painter and flick drops onto the sponged
panel. Set aside to dry.
5.
Stamp five bulbs from the Merry &
Bright Stamp Set with Poppy Parade Ink.
Stamp over the image with the same stamp and Versamark Ink, and heat
emboss with clear embossing powder. Repeat with the Versamark and Clear
embossing powder one or two more times, until the bulbs are smooth and shiny.
Die cut the bulbs.
6.
Add a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the
back of the More Dazzle paper, and die cut the bulb filaments, the bulb
holders, and two or three of the light strings.
7.
Peel the backing from the filaments
and bulb holders and attach to the bulbs.
8.
Adhere the bulbs to the card base with
Dimensionals. Cut the string into
smaller strips and attach to the card base, tucking the ends under the bulbs so
they don’t show.
9.
Trim off any parts of the bulb that
are hanging over the edge of the panel, and attach it to the card base.
10.
Embellish with Blooming Pearls.
