Birthday to Ewe - wobbler, Liquid Applique, embossing

A happy, bouncy ewe with a birthday wish, my card features a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp set and inks, Liquid Applique with Glamor Dust, Zig Clean Color markers, embossing, and a wobbler for a bit of bouncy fun.

Putting It Together

When doing a composite image for the opener, I always forget at least one thing. You should be able to spot in in the steps below.

I finished this off last night as the last thing in my old workshop/studio/craftroom. I'm moving into a different (bigger) room in the house while moving most of the contents of that room into what has been my craftroom for the last 3 years. I'm also painting and doing other stuff to the new space. So, no time for crafting in the process. 

I stamped the ewe on to a scrap of bristol and then fussy cut her with a very narrow margin. I then gave her a bit of a colour-up with Zig Clean Colour markers.

For the fluffiness, I used Liquid Applique. I dotted it over the wooly parts of the ewe.

I then covered the wet Liquid Applique with Glamor Dust.

Then heat tool. This dries the Liquid Applique and makes it all sorts of puffy.

With the Glamor Dust and Liquid Applique, I now have a sparkly happy ewe.

I thought plaid would look great with the ewe so I looked at the plaid papers in my stash. The rainbow plaid from Lawn Fawn is perfect. To back it, spotty, slightly shimmery paper from Recollections. I decided, too, that a heart would be the perfect touch.

I embossed the sentiment with a turquoise powder I recently got on clearance. I like the whimsy of a coloured sentiment. Dry fitting as I go helps me see what else might be needed.

I decided I wanted more sparkle and a bit more contrast between the heart and the background. So, I decided to add glitter. I used a glue pen to add adhesive to the edge of the heart.

I then dumped microfine glitter over the edges. I brushed off loose glitter with a soft makeup brush from the dollar store, then rubbed /burnished the glitter with my finger.

To soften the edges of the pink background, I used Purple Pansy with a blender on the edges.

I used the new Charming Chartreuse on the edges of the sentiment panel.

A recent acquisition for my stash is a number washi I got on clearance. I thought it would be a fun touch.

For a bit more sparkle, I decided on some silver ribbon.

I popped up the heart and sentiment with foam mounting tape. I decided to give the ewe some bounce so mounted her on a small wobbler.

Inside, I added a strip of the washi.
