Believe in Daydreams, Tim Holtz/Sizzix
For this card, I started by ink smooshing some Distress White Heavystock with the following colors of Distress Ink:
- Kitsch Flamingo
- Picked Raspberry
- Dried Marigold
- Spiced Marmalade
- Squeezed Lemonade
- Mustard Seed
- Twisted Citron
- Salvaged Patina
- Peacock Feathers
- Wilted Violet
I then diecut the pieces of the chicks from the new Papercut Colorize Chicks, using the darker colors for the back layer, and the lighter colors for the front.
For the background, I used a mini slimline stitched rectangle die from Lawn Fawn, and I used a cloud stencil from Lawn Fawn and inked with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and Domed Foam/ink blending tool and created it on some Distress White Heavystock. When I am using stencils, I like to use the Stay-Tion to hold everything in place, makes ink blending SO easy!
I created the ground by gently dotting some Copic markers and layering the colors. I used YG01, YG05, and YG09. I added the chicks to the card with some foam squares and added a touch of Prisma glitter to their bellies and wings with a Quickie Glue Pen.
I matted a gold metallic sentiment with white cardstock “believe in daydreams” and added that to the card front. I made a card base 6 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ out of some Mermaid Lawn Fawn Cardstock and added the stitched rectangle with foam tape.
I love how this card is bright and cheery and will work for a sweet pick me up when a friend might need it.
