I had such a fun time putting these cards together! I took my crafting supplies out to a party and pulled some little helpers to play around with the inks too. They had a blast creating backgrounds and then making them into cards.
We started by spraying Fossilized Amber distress spray stain diagonally in the middle of a piece of watercolour paper. I liked the results best on the rough side of the paper. Next, we sprayed Picked Raspberry on one side and then Peacock Feathers on the other, leaving a gap between these colours and the middle. After that, using the distress water sprayer, we added some droplets to blend the colours together. We left them to dry a bit.
Next, we added the coordinating distress spritz colours over top. This is a technique I learned from Jenn Shurkus and love the results. We set the panels aside to dry for an hour.
Meanwhile, we got to work on creating some fudgesicles! We inked up a panel of white cardstock with Walnut Stain distress oxide. It gave it a bit of a mottled look which was perfect to look like they had just come out of the freezer. Using the I Scream, You Scream die set, we cut the fudgesicles out of the inked paper. I cut the popsicle sticks out of white cardstock and then lightly inked them with the light brown ink that was left on my blending brush!
I cut out some letters from Peacock cardstock and lightly inked the top of them with Uncharted Mariner ink. I found a sentiment that would work with the theme from Beary Happy Holidays. Finally, I cut out the panel with the Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables largest die and then added it onto a Chocolate card base. I assembled the fudgesicles so that they overlapped and love how it all turned out!
