Party Invite with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Party!". This challege lasts for two weeks!

The party season is almost here and a little later is my birthday and like every year I made my invitations. The years are flying by. Something too fast for my liking. Anyway, let me tell you how I made this invitation. I started with a base layer of Nuvo Mousse Pure Platinum. This gives the surface a metallic shimmer, but it is also partially water-resistant. The thicker the layer, the more it becomes water-resistant.




 

The mousse is almost immediately dry after you apply it. So on with the next layer. After I masked off a part of the card, I used the Rings Doily stencil with Texture Paste. The next step was to apply color and I did that with Infusions Sunset Beach, Are You Cerise? and Lemoncello. The first layer was with some Mod Podge mixed with water and then only with water and Infusions.

 

I stamped the Block Lower Foam Stamps with the Stamp Platform and aligned the letters with a ruler. I temporarily replaced the second i with the l because of the spacing between the letters. Foam stamps and VersaMark do not seem to get along  very well, or I have used too little ink, but with the black embossing powder it gives a very cool distressed look.
