Hello! I am delighted to share a slimline card featuring products from the just-released Paint Your World Collection at Spellbinders. I combined the Painted Blooms die set with the collection’s stamp set. I knew right away that I wanted to use paint on this project.
- Paint Bristol cardstock with acrylic paint in a variety of colors for the leaves, paint brush, and blooms.
- While the painted cardstock dries, cut the brush bristles (several times) and handle tip from Snowdrift cardstock with the Painted Blooms die set. Apply VersaMark to the pieces and clear emboss them.
- Cut the paint brush band from silver foil cardstock.
- When the painted cardstock is dry, cut the leaves, blooms, and brush. Cut the brush again from thin balsa wood.
- Glue the paint bristles and leaves to the balsa wood structure. Glue the foil band and handle tip to the painted brush. Glue the assembly to the balsa wood.
- Stamp the Paint Your World sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black ink on a slimline-size, light blue, cardstock base.
- Adhere paint brush to card base. Glue flowers and centers together and add to card.
I love this! When I saw this die it immediately caught my eye. The bristles behind the leaves is brilliant.
Wow, what an original idea, so beautifully put together.
Very cool die set and I love how you’ve used it, Jean!! You always find the perfect colors to combine for a bright, happy card!!
