Creating with a drip.

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I am giving you directions on how to create three cards all with the same technique called the drip. For this technique you will need a card base, mat, a piece of white card stock, scrap of card stock for words, aqua painter (paint brush and water), and adhesive.

For the card on the left…

• Cut Thick White Card Stock to 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″. On the 8 1/2″ side score at 4 1/4″. This is your card base.
• Cut Blueberry Bushel Card Stock to 5 1/4″ X 4″. Attach wish Snail Adhesive to your card base. This is your mat.
• Cut Whisper White Card Stock to 5″ X 3 3/4″. Drip ink and water droplets from Aqua Painter to create background. Let dry overnight. Then trim to create background and glue with Snail Adhesive.
• Stamp sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink and punch out. Adhere with Dimensionals.
• Attach pearls.

For the card on the right…

• Cut Thick White Card Stock to 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″. On the 8 1/2″ side score at 4 1/4″. This is your card base.
• Cut Seaside Spray Card Stock to 5 1/4″ X 4″. Adhere with Snail Adhesive. This is your mat.
• Cut Whisper White Card Stock to 5″ X 3 3/4″. Drip ink and water droplets from Aqua Painter to create background. Let dry overnight. Then cut in half to create background and glue with Snail Adhesive.
• Cut border with coordinating dies from Ornate Garden Suite (available April 1). Attach with Snail Adhesive.
• Stamp accent with Seaside Spray ink in top left corner.
• Stamp sentiment with Seaside Spray ink and cut out with coordinating die. Attach with Dimensionals.

For the card in the middle…

• Cut Thick White Card Stock to 4 1/4″ X 11″. On the 11″ side score at 5 1/2″. This is your card base.
• Cut Rococo Rose Card Stock to 5″ X 3 3/4″. Run through embossing folder in Ornate Garden Suite. Attach with Snail Adhesive. Tip: Go a little slower with the adhesive so the paper does not tear. This is your mat.
• Cut Whisper White Card Stock to 5″ X 3 3/4″. Drip ink and water droplets from Aqua Painter to create background. Let dry overnight. Then punch or die cut to create background and attach with Dimensionals.
• Take a scrap of Whisper White Card Stock and stamp a single daisy in Lovely Lipstick Ink. Cut out with Snips. Attach with Glue Dots.
