Congratulations Card with Paper Smooches
Hi Crafters! It’s Valerie here today, and I made a wild & crazy card! It was a lot of fun to make! It can either be used as a Congratulations card, or a “We have Great News!” announcement type card.
The mad scientist and the sentiment come from the Paper Smooches stamp set, Great Chemistry.
The imagesare stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the scientist with Copic markers:
- Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20
- Hair: YR12, YR15, YR18
- Glasses: B0000
- Coat: C00, C01
- Pants: B34, B37
- Boots: E17
- Tie: Y35
- Glove: B21, B24
- Glass Beaker: BG0000
- Liquid in beaker: YG17
I wiped ink from my Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads onto my craft mat, and spritzed the ink with water from my Ranger Mini Misters spay bottles onto the ink; it then created little “puddles” of ink. I then rubbed my Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock into the ink to create the blotchy colored paper background. The colors I used are Iced Spruce, Peeled Paint, Stormy Sky, Shaded Lilac, Barn Door, and Dried Marigold.
The “confetti” in the scalloped circle window are all Pretty Pink Posh (PPP) 6mm cupped sequins: Mossy Green, Amethyst, & Cornflower; I also added PPP 4mm Sparkling Clear cupped sequins.
The white card base is a piece of Bazzill White Classic Smooth Cardstock. I adhered everything down with my Crafter’s Companion tape runner. I added sparkle to the purple scalloped frame circle with my with a Clear Zig Wink of Stella Brush Glitter Pen.
Hope you enjoyed my Mad Scientist; I think he’s hilarious! Have a great rest-of-the-week, and Happy Crafting!!
