This is one Zebra that certainly stands out from the crowd! This colourful rainbow Card Topper couldn’t be easier to put together. Here’s how its done…
I started off by making up a few Winifred’s for my stash. I has a piece of alcohol ink coloured cardstock from a previous project that I didn’t use, so I decided to cut her mane from that rainbow piece and fell in love with this colourful version! Sizzix has a video for each of the Colorize die sets, that make assembling SUPER easy, so be sure to check out the link below. TIP: I always add adhesive sheets or run my cardstock through my Xyron before I die cut any pieces for the Colorize dies. This makes assembling them much easier and far less messy than using glueI started by stamping a brushstrokes circle onto a piece of hot pressed watercolour paper using my Black Soot Oxide Ink Pad and embossed that with black embossing powder to give it a gloss finish. I always use my stamping press when stamping an image like this, as I want to ensure a good ink coverage. And using my press, allows me to stamp the image a few times.Then it was time for some colour! I inked around the embossed image using the following Distress Inks: Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, Salty Ocean, Twisted Citron, Mustard Seed and Carved Pumpkin. Awesome, bright colours! I used the blending tool to blend the colours together, into one anotherI really didn’t want to chance touching the card and disturbing the ink, so I chose to give it a quick coat of Gloss Spray Varnish to seal the colours and allowed that to air dry which didn’t take longThen I grabbed a favourite Wendy Vecchi text stamp set and stamped around the card randomly using my stamping press and jet black archival ink padI trimmed the card down to sizeAnd inked the edges using a blending tool and Black Soot Distress InkAnd matted onto some black cardstock for great contrastI used the off cut strips to stamp some words using Jet Black Archival Ink https://hillcrestartsupplies.co.za/…/7838-couture… https://hillcrestartsupplies.co.za/…/4346-jet-black…And inked the edges using a blending tool and Black Soot Distress InkI used my mini Wendy Vecchi Make Art Stay-tion (can’t live without this tool!), to line up the sentiments and glue them into place https://hillcrestartsupplies.co.za/…/6036-wendy-vecchi…I used double sided foam tape to adhere Winifred into placeThat’s it! Couldn’t be easier right?! A happy, colourful card topper to add to your stash!
