VIDEO: Wink of Stella Watercolor Wash on Fresh Fruit Pear Card

I originally designed this Fresh Fruit pear card for our Vacation Stamping School demonstrator team training in July. It's such a simple, clean design that I thought it would be perfect to round out my Stamp of the Month Club card kit for August. The layout is pretty simple, but I do have some tips to share for some of the details that make this a wow!

I started by cutting the 4" x 4" Fruit Stand designer paper diagonally -- cutting about 1/3 off. I used the bigger piece on the front of the card and saved the smaller piece for the inside of the card.

To cut the burlap ribbon at just the right angle, I held it over the designer paper to trim the edges before adhering them both to the card front. TIP: Use Fast Fuse or Tear & Tape to secure the ribbon in place.

Stamp the pear on the Lots of Label die cut before adding the Watercolor Wash background. I stamped off on my grid paper before stamping the pear. Then I "rolled" the stamp over the Pear Pizzazz ink pad and stamped again over the original image to give the variation in color.

For the Tinted Wink of Stella Wash:

1. Squeeze out Clear Wink of Stella on to a clear block.
2. Add one drop of Daffodil Delight (or better yet, So Saffron) ink refill and mix with the Wink of Stella pen.
3. Paint the mixture around the stamped image.

This card is one of three designs in my August Stamp of the Month Club card kit. There is no commitment when you join my Stamp of the Month Club! I'll add you to my club mailing list and you'll receive one email each month revealing the stamp set and card designs. You can choose when you want to participate by simply replying to that email.
