Happy Saturday friends! It’s release day for Miss Ink Stamps, yay!!! I’m delighted to share my fabulously sarcastic birthday card with you featuring the new Potions Class stamp set.
I started by stamping and coloring lots of images from the new Potions Class stamp set, then cut them all out. For my background panel, I inked up parts of the Magical Newspaper stamp and randomly pressed it on a piece of gray cardstock. This is a big 6×6 stamp and I didn’t use my MISTI or a block with it because I wanted the imperfections. I also used gray ink on gray cardstock so it wasn’t bold and distracting but gave interest and texture in the background.
Next, I drug the gray ink pad across the panel in a few spots and also used a blending brush to add more dark spots here and there. With whatever ink was left on my brush, I went over the die cut potions images so they weren’t stark white on the edges. I glued the background panel to a card base and then the shelves and bottles went on next.
I added the professor image with foam squares and then tied my sentiment tag around the top of the card. The heat embossing was bright white and I didn’t like that so I went over it with my blending brush to try and dirty it up too. It seemed to work, although I don’t know if it will rub off in the envelope.
