By Helen | January 29, 2012

On February 1st, CTMH will reveal the new Spring/Summer 2012 Idea Book…in the meantime, please enjoy this CTMH New Product Blog Hop.  Grab your notebook…and a writing utensil so you can jot down your “wish list”…then, sit back and join us on a journey of wonderful new products!  There are almost 30 CTMH Consultants joining in on the fun…that’s a LOT of ideas that YOU can take and duplicate with this fun stamp set. If you arrived here from Krista’s blog you’re on the right path.

Tutorial

Cut the following:

• 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Outdoor Denim cardstock
• 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the Soft Honey Small Flower pattern paper

• Image Panel – Vanilla Cream cardstock – cut using <Shape7> at 3 1/4″.  Page 37.
• Image Panel Mat – Indian Corn Blue cardstock – cut using <Shape 7> at 3 1/2″.  Page 37.
• Scalloped Strip – Outdoor Denim Cardstock – cut using <Oval 5> Font layer at 1″.  Page 62.

Using Desert Sand ink and the Foam Tool, distress the edges of all pieces of paper.

Attach the 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Outdoor Denim cardstock to a Colonial White card base.  Attach the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Soft Honey Small Flower patterned paper centered.

Using a Sponge Dauber and Vanilla Cream, Indian Corn Blue and Olive inks, create an ombre pattern on the Color-Ready Seam Binding Ribbon.  This ribbon is AWESOME!!!  You can color it any color you want, desire or need…and, you can create a varitey of different effects.  Here you see the ribbon before (right) and after (left).  Tip:  The ribbon dries really quick…I was surprised how fast & easy this is to do.  Tip: Ink enough ribbon for the card front and the bow at the same time.  I tied a bow lightly to figure out how much ribbon I’d need, then undid the bow to color it.

Attach a strip of ribbon over the center of the scalloped strip and wrap to the back.  Tip: If you really want to conserve ribbon…you could leave a “space” behind where the Image Panel is going to go…a great way to STRETCH the ribbon further!  Attach centered on the card front.

Using Outdoor Denim ink, stamp the large flower on the Image Panel.  Using the Blending Pen, pick up and move the Outdoor Denim ink to color in the outer edge of the flower, the inner part by the stem and the bottom edge of the leaf.  Allow to dry.

Using Olive ink and the Blending Pen, pick up ink and use to color in the middle part of the flower and add green to the top edge of the leaf and the tiny leaf.  Tip: With the ink pad closed, squeeze the lid so it touches the top of the ink pad, then open the ink pad part way and use the lid as a paint palette!  This also works with the Waterbrush.  Attach to the center of the mat.  Attach to the card front using 3D Foam Tape.

Tie a bow and attach to the right of the Image Panel using Glue Dots or Liquid Glass.

Using Outdoor Denim Ink, stamp the sentiment in the lower left corner.

Add Bitty Opaques to either side of the sentiment and along the stem of the flower.
