Something Saturday - Explosion card

 Hi there Creators,

Today on the back of doing an explosion card with the kids at school for Father's Day, I thought I'd make up one for a video.

I've used the gorgeous Abigail Rose Designer Paper, love the soft muted colours, in the video I end up making the innards for 2 cards, so here are the finished cards.....

I decided to go nice and simple and let the gorgeous card speak for itself a bit of the Natural finish ribbon, and some of the Iridescent Rhinestones (gee these go with everything!)

Then on to the inside of the card, which is what I show how to create in the video, I've used a bit of vellum to pop the saying onto.

 

To get the colour to stay on the vellum, first I've inked my stamp in Versmark, so the ink will stay wet for long enough, then inked it in my colour (in this case Early Espresso - which turned out pinker than I expected!🤣 (if you ink with colour then ink with versamark you'll end up with ink in your versamark pad!) Then stamped and added clear embossing powder, then heat set it.  It's the only way to get a colour other than Stazon to stay on vellum!

Then the other card I fussy cut out one of the flower bouquets from another sheet of the Abigail Rose paper, and popped this up on dimensionals onto another piece of the designer paper

then inside the card, again I used the versamark/ink/clear heat emboss trick on the vellum.  This time I went with soft suede which seems to come out a truer colour!

If you missed seeing the video, here it is.....

 

I hope this inspires you to have a go too.

God Bless love
