Hello there and welcome as we celebrate the May 2019 release from Reverse Confetti. Reverse Confetti turns 6 this month and I am so excited to be working with them, they are a wonderful company. If you are following along in the hop, you should have arrived here from the amazing Heather, but if you get lost along the way, I have the full list of participants below.
I have a lot to share with you today so sit back and relax and grab a cup of something nice to drink! My first two projects use the wonderful new Party Animals set. It is such a fun set and perfect for birthday cards.
PARTY ANIMALS
I started off my card by stamping the monkey riding the bike from the Reverse Confetti Party Animals Stamp Set on to white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then coloured him with Copic Markers (the colours that I used are listed below the supplies section) and then cut him out with the coordinating dies. He was set aside while I worked on the background.
I took a piece of Yupo paper and added a wash of Aqua, Pool and Sailboat Blue alcohol inks on to it. I kept them quite smooth and then splatted on some Alcohol Ink Blending Solution to create some interest. Once it was dry, I cut it down using a Hero Arts Circle Infinity Die. I took a 5.5" x 4" white card base and added a strip of paper from the new Reverse Confetti Sweet Stripes Paper Pad to the side. I then added the alcohol inked circle with tape runner, having the circle hang off the side of the card slightly.
The monkey was added on with foam tape. I took the sentiment from the Reverse Confetti Word Up Stamp Set and stamped it on to black cardstock with Versamark Ink. I applied White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. It was then cut in to strips and added to the card with foam tape. To finish off, I added Crystal Glaze to the hat/crown and also the monkey's nose.
I couldn't resist the elephant in the set so I thought I would add him to a tag. I started off by stamping the elephant and balloon from the Party Animals set on to more white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I coloured them with Copic Markers and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I then took the Reverse Confetti Topped Off Tag Die and cut this from white cardstock. I also cut it from the Sweet Stripes Paper Pad. I cut the patterned paper one down and added it to the top to the white cardstock tag for some added interest.
I took the sentiment from the Party Animals set and stamped it on to black cardstock with Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. This was cut in to a strip and ribbon ends cut at the sides with scissors. This was added to the tag with foam tape. I then added the elephant and balloon on top with more foam tape.
To finish off, I added Crystal Glaze to the balloon and then wrapped twine through the top of the tag.
RAINY DAY FUN
My next card uses the new Reverse Confetti Rainy Day Fun Stamp Set. This is another adorable set that contains lots of images but that duck stole my heart, so I had to use him! I stamped the duck and umbrella on to white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then coloured them with Copic Markers and cut out using the coordinating dies. I also die cut the clouds from the die set from white cardstock.
I took a panel of white cardstock and die cut the Reverse Confetti Stitched Rays Cover Panel Confetti Cut on to it. This doesn't actually cut anything out as such, but cuts the stitched lines. I thought it would make a fun background for the duck as a sun. I cut it down and added it to the top of an A2 white card base with tape runner. I then blended a little Tim Holtz Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink on top.
I took the sentiment from the Rainy Day Fun stamp set and stamped it with black ink on to the card base. I then took a strip of paper from the Sweet Stripes Paper Pad and added this where the stitched panel ended. The clouds were added with tape runner and then the duck and umbrella with foam tape. To finish off, I added a little black glaze pen to the duck's eye.
OVER THE RAINBOW
My final card uses the new Reverse Confetti Over The Rainbow Confetti Cuts. This is a wonderful standalone die set that consists of a rainbow, two clouds and a sun. I cut the rainbow from white cardstock and blended Distress Inks on to it using a blending brush. I tried to concentrate the darker colour towards the ends and leave the middle a little lighter for some dimension. I used Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold, Scattered Straw, Twisted Citron, Broken China, Chipped Sapphire and Wilted Violet. I then spritzed them with Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spritz and set aside to dry.
I die cut the two clouds from the set using white cardstock and then die cut the hello from the Reverse Confetti Thanks & Hello Word Duo Confetti Cuts set three times from black cardstock. These were stacked up with liquid glue. I took a white cardstock panel and using the Reverse Confetti Leaf Lattice Stencil, I ran this through my die cutting machine to emboss the pattern on to the cardstock. This was added to a white A2 card base with tape runner.
The rainbow was added on top with liquid glue and then the clouds added with foam tape. I added the hello word with a combination of tape runner and foam tape. I then took the sentiment from the Reverse Confetti Word Up Stamp Set and stamped this on to black cardstock with Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. This was cut in to two strips and added to the card with foam tape. To finish off, I added a few Lucy's Raindrops.
