Hello Flourish

No matter how many times I use this technique, each background is still unique. It is a great technique for large die cuts or big bold stamps. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Strawberry Slush A-2

   Watercolor 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic Black Scraps

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Strawberry Slush

   Bermuda Bay

   Yo Yo Yellow

Technique:

   Cling Wrap

Accessories:

   Flourish Thinlits

   Hello You Thinlits

   Cling Wrap

   Adhesive

I followed the tutorial found at SCS for the Cling Wrap Technique. Just click on the link and see written instructions with pictures, along with a short video. You won't be sorry.

Once, my background dried, I adhered it to a Strawberry Slush card front.

I then die cut my flourish and sentiment, using the Flourish and Hello You thinlits. 

Next, I adhered them to the card front. I chose not to take away from the background, so I did not add any embellishments, but you can dress it up any way you like.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

The Clearing

Use new sentiments with your discontinued stamps. I enjoy mixing the new with the old. Since I keep my stamps until they are useless, (BTW: This never happens.) I mix and match all of the time. Here I used an old-time favorite and paired it with a new set. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Noble Deer

   Wildlife Wonder

Paper:

   Crushed Curry A-2

   Glossy White 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), Scrap

Ink:

   Crushed Curry

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Re-Inkers:

   Crushed Curry

   Garden Green

   Island Indigo

   Night of Navy

   Rose Red

Technique:

   Cling Wrap

   Punching

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Cling Wrap

   Water Mister

   Sponge

   Banners Pick a Punch

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I created my Cling Wrap Background. You can follow the tutorial from SCS found at: Cling Wrap Tutorial 

I let the panel dry overnight. At first, I thought I had ruined the whole panel because it looked very dark. The Night of Navy seemed to take over the whole thing. Fortunately, the longer I left it, the lighter it became. Note to self: Never throw it out!

Once the background was completely dry, I stamped directly on it.

I then stamped my sentiment on a scrap of Basic White. 

I used the Banners Pick a Punch to clip the ends and then sponged it using Crushed Curry.

I attached it using dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered the panel to the card front and added the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
