Sunbird Spark Challenge #50

 

This month's challenge has a Color Palette Inspiration photo, with rainbow colours.

I used 6 colours on my card.

I used the Geometric Arts Coordinating Dies to make a stencil with some cardstock. I cut the hexagon first and then added the triangle on top. Once I had the stencil made, I used the Stencils 360° system to colour my card panel.

Using Gina K Design inks - Passionate Pink, Wild Dandelion, Jelly Bean Green, Turquoise Sea, Wild Lilac, and Medium Orchid, I turned the stencil 60° each time I inked up a new colour. 

For the sentiment, I used the An Amazing Friend stamp set. I added some rhinestones in matching colours for some bling.

 

June Scor-Pal Project

 

Since I made a Mother's Day card last month, it only seemed fair to make a Father's Day card this month!

I recently bought some of Lisa Horton's metallic ink pads. They are a dye based metallic pigment ink so you can do some interesting techniques with them. For this card I didn't do anything fancy with them.

I started by pouncing some Coastline Lisa Horton metallic ink through a Stampin' Up! Pattern Party Decorative Mask. Then I flipped my cardstock and scored some lines, using my Scor-Buddy I scored in 1/8" and 1/4" from each side. This gives raised lines on the front of the cardstock. 

I thought the stencilled pattern didn't show the shine of the metallic ink enough, so I swiped the ink pad over the edges of another piece of cardstock to make a background layer. Then I attached the two layers together with Scor-Tape, and then added them to a white card base.

I didn't want to cover up the design with a sentiment on the outside, so I put it on the inside, along with a stamped image and a strip of the inked up cardstock. The sentiment and image are from the Gina K. Designs By the Sea stamp set, and are stamped with Obsidian Amalgam ink.
