Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will create a vellum overlay card using the super fun Ai Stay Hydrated Set (5928). This stamp set has a wonderful image of a lady holding her tumbler, which can be decorated with the variety of insert stamps available in this set. It also has some wonderful coordinating sentiments, and we will be using one of those today. We are going to be using just the individual tumbler for today’s card and hopefully give this set a fun new look!

This card was inspired by the current Ai Blog “Drink Up!” Challenge. For this challenge you can use coffee, tea, cocoa, wine, water or whatever this challenge congers up in your mind! Just have fun!

For the card base we will create a A2 size card using some vellum and a piece of 100lb cardstock in white. The vellum will overlay the white card base. So next we can stamp the tumbler along the bottom of the vellum using the Staz-on Snowflake White Ink Pad. This will dry permanently on the vellum with no need to emboss….unless you want to!

The next step is the best part! We will do all of the coloring of the tumblers on the backside of the vellum in a rainbow of colors. Here we can do some simple blending and highlighting. Keep in mind that the coloring will stay wet a bit longer because the vellum is not as absorbent as your cardstock and will allow the ink to sit up on the vellum. Just be careful and heat set the ink as you go along.

To do the coloring I will be using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Carmine Red, Scarlet Red, Bright Yellow, May Green, Blue, Violet, Cool Gray 3. However, your Tombow Markers and blender marker would work great for this technique.

Now let’s add some lettering to each of the tumblers using the Ai Small Alphabet Set (5284). We will stamp out the word “CHEERS”!

Next, let’s create a pretty scalloped border for the top of the card and for our sentiment. The border die is from the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543). It is not quite long enough to fit across the card so I will show you how to easily extend the border to the needed size.

Once the border is die-cut we can add the sentiment from the same set and ink it with our markers in all of the rainbow colors. You may have to ink it a few times to get a nice crisp stamping.

Using some double-side tape we will add the border to the vellum overlay and then with some additional double-side tape we can attach the vellum to the card base.

For some additional interest we will stamp and die-cut some cute little butterflies from the Ai Birds and Bugs Set (5561) and sprinkle those around the tumblers in the coordinating colors. With the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen, we will add some sparkle to each of the butterflies.

Finally, let’s add some pretty iridescent gems and ribbon, both of which will pick up all of these rainbow colors!

So please feel free to join us in this fun new challenge…. we would love to see what you create!
