Mini Slimline Friendship Card with New Rose Background Stamp | Rubbernecker Stamps

Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing a card I made using Rubbernecker Stamps' new Bird/Rose Background stamp set.  This set has two beautiful stamps in it sized perfectly for your mini slimline cards!  I had fun creating my heat embossed/resist card layer--read on!

First I created my card base and layers:

  • Create the mini slime card by scoring a 6" x 6-¼" piece of white cardstock at 3".  Crease with a bone folder.
  • Using my MISTI, I put the Rose Background Strip stamp on the door.  Then I inked up the stamp with inks from the Color Fuse #5 set.  I used a sponge dauber to soften the edges of each ink color in order to blend them more smoothly.  I repeated the colors as needed to create the ombré effect.  Keep the stamp and cardstock in the MISTI!!
  • Next I used my anti-static bag over the piece and then stamped the image again with Versamark clear embossing ink.  I added White Satin Pearl embossing powder and heat set it. 

  • Trim the stamped background piece, leaving about a 1/8" border.
  • Place removable tape along the edges of the white border and place on some scrap paper.
  • Now for the emboss resist!  In a reverse order, using the darkest ink over the lighter  inked roses, add the inks, in an ombré pattern, over the piece.

  • Carefully remove the tape for the beautiful reveal!  (apologies that I forgot to photograph that)
  • Cut a piece of white cardstock to 2-½" x 5-¾" and ink up the edges with Fuchsia ink for a perfectly coordinating mat layer.  Adhere the embossed image to the layer, add foam tape to the back and pop it up onto the card base.
  • Die cut the Hello three times from white cardstock.  Adhere the layers together with glue.
  • Die cut the Hello shadow from black cardstock and then adhere the white Hello layers to it.
  • Die cut the Flower Pot from white cardstock with the Large Garden Pots die.  Color the edges with Copic markers for some shading.  I used C3, C1, and C00.
  • Die cut the Canterbury Bells and Stems from white cardstock.  Color the stems with Copic markers (YG17, YG25).  I love that this is all one die to cut ALL the pieces you need!
  • Using a flower shaping tool, slightly shape the flowers and then adhere to the stems with liquid glue.
  • Glue the flower stems to the back of the flower pot.
  • Die cut one Flower #6 and color with Copic Markers (YG67, YG17, YG25).  Snip it into three pieces and glue in back of the flowers.
  • Add some foam tape to the back of the flower pot and adhere it to the card.
  • Add a few foam squares to the bottom back of the Hello.  Adhere to the card.

Heat embossing over a stamped image and then inking for the emboss resist gives the stamped image such a different look!  I really enjoy this technique too!  Thank you so much for stopping by today!
