Here you can see the effect of the Pearl Mica Spray.Die cut a sentiment from white paper with Tim Holtz’s Celebration Words Script set, and add the rest of the sentiment with Label Letter stickers.I stitched the frame in place with my sewing machine. Three hearts were also glued to the vellum.The penguin is holding one of the hearts. I inked a piece of paper with Mermaid Lagoon and die cut SSS Clipping Heart from it.Mist with water to make the ink blend into the paper. I wanted the penguin to stand in a field of flowers and inked Tim Holtz Bouquet flowers with Distress Inks.Glue the penguin pieces on top of the backing piece.This step makes it easy to assemble the Picture Book dies. Press the die into a piece of cardstock to make an impression and roughly cut out, inside the lines. The beak and feet were die cut from white paper and inked with Spiced Marmalade. Die cut the Picture Book Hugging Penguin from white and black wool felt.The technique used on the frame would work just as well for an entire card background. Stamp the frame in just a few places with the SSS Good Reading Background stamp.For some shine, mist with Wendy Vecchi Pearl Mica Spray.They coordinate perfectly and work great for adding a darker shade of the same color, for instance along the edges. When I want a stronger, more vibrant shade on a part of a paper inked with Distress Ink, I use Distress Crayons.Ink with Mermaid Lagoon and Twisted Citron.If you cut off the sentiment, it works great as a general frame for just about anything. Simon Says Stamp Birthday Wishes Frame die is very versatile.Emboss a piece of vellum in Tim Holtz’s Tiny Dots folder and tear the lower edge. Dry embossed vellum looks great on a transparent background since it lets the stamping in the background show through slightly.I stamped the entire sheet, but you can also fold it first, and only stamp the front. Start by stamping the background with the Circle Doodle Background stamp and Cotton White Stazon ink, then fold the Modeling Film to create a card.You can use a transparent background for lots of different types of cards, and they look great for layouts too. My favorite is Wendy Vecchi’s Clearly For Art Modeling Film. Flimsy transparencies don’t work well for the background. It’s called ‘The Penguin That Hated the Cold”. My sons like to read an old book of mine about a penguin that doesn’t like the cold and is searching for warmer shores and it inspired this card. A transparent card base really makes a card stand out and is also fun when it comes to layering. It is summer and I wanted to make a bright and happy card today. Hi everyone!
