Celebrating World Card Making Day

Since Saturday was World Card Making Day, I wanted to create a card even though I wasn't able to craft with friends.  I needed a card for our grand niece who suffered a burn in a microwave accident.  I used Distress Inks and acetate to create the background.  She will be getting this card with a little something in it to help her feel better.  And since she's a teenager, you know exactly what that little something is - LOL!

I smooshed two Distress Inks on my craft mat and spritzed them with water.  Then I placed a piece of acetate on the inks (separately) and placed the acetate down onto the card panel.  I dried the first color with my heat gun before adding the other color.  I did this a couple of times, adding the color to a different section of the panel each time. Then, using two separate dies, I cut the sentiment, adhering the words to the base.  I inked the flower stamp with Distress Ink and cut it out, popping it up.  I adhered the distress panel to the front of the card base.  Finally, I added a strip of Washi.  Done!

Card stock:  Recollections 60 lb and 110 lb
Inks:  Distress Squeezed Lemonade and Salty Ocean
Washi:  My stash
Stamp:  Close to My Heart (retired)
