INSPIRE: Fun, Bright & Colorful Goody Gumdrop Card How To

Hello Creatives!

Welcome to INSPIRE!

Today I want to share with you

a fun and colorful card I made recently, using

the gumdrop stamp from

the FABULOUS

Rita Barakat's Lollipop Art Foamie Collection Stamps.

I also used a variety of Faber-Castell Gelato's and acrylic paint from PLAID.

This card was very simple to make, took minimal time.

My card base is a 60lb heavyweight white cardstock, cut and folded into a 5x7 card size.

I also used the same card stock to stamp the gumdrops on, using the shades of Perfect Purple, Lemon Yellow & Glazed Carrots from PLAID's Folk Art line of acrylic paints.

(I have pictured Watercolor paint from Plaid, but actually went with a deeper shade of purple, from the acrylic line)

I first stamped directly on the card front, and also on an additional piece of card stock, so I could make a layered design with the gumdrop stamps.

Once the paint had dried, I used Faber-Castell Gelato's to enhance the already brightly colored gumdrops.

The shades used:

Orange Soda

Limoncello

Metallic Grape

Using double sided foam tape,I applied the additional stamped gumdrops, on top of the gumdrops directly stamped on the card front.

I wanted a bit more pizzaz, so I added colorful sequins, randomly place over the card front, using the Embellie Gellie pick up tool from ScraPerfect.

I just so happened to haven my craft stash, candy themed stickers, so I added "candy stripes" to the bottom of the card with a glittered sentiment sticker,"SWEET for you".
