Hello there and welcome to day two of the Clearly Besotted April 2020 Release Teasers. Today I am using the new An Open Book set. This set consists of lots of characters from books, along with different images to create some magical scenes. Although I love the concept of the set, I decided to go a little different and create a birthday card using the fairy kitty, because let's face it, she is adorable!
I started off by stamping the fairy kitty from the Clearly Besotted An Open Book Stamp Set on to white cardstock. I coloured her with Copic Markers (the colours that I used are listed below the supplies section for reference) and fussy cut her out with scissors and set her aside. I then die cut a tag from the Clearly Besotted Tag Along Die Collection from white cardstock. I took the star like stamp from the set and stamped this repeatedly over the top of the tag with Versamark Ink. I applied detail white embossing powder and then heat set it.
Using a blending brush, I then applied Distress Ink to the tag. I used Picked Raspberry at the bottom, followed by Spun Sugar, finishing off with Dried Marigold at the top. I then wiped off any excess ink from the embossing with a dry cloth and spritzed it with Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spritz and set it aside to dry. I took the sentiment from the Clearly Besotted Laugh Out Loud Belated Stamp Set and stamped it on to black cardstock with Versamark Ink. I applied detail white embossing powder, heat set and cut in to a strip.
I added a small strip of MFT Black & White Striped Paper to the tag, followed by the sentiment on top with foam tape. The kitty was then added with foam tape also. I die cut the hole reinforcer for the tag from black cardstock and adhered that on. I then tied twine through the top and adhered it to an A2 white card base with tape runner (that has been scored with a bone folder and score board but difficult to see in the photos!). To finish off, I added Lucy's Pink Moonstone Sequins around the sentiment and Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the kitty's wand.
