Treat Yourself

Hello, Gemma here today. I’m back for my second post this week, so thought I’d share a non-Christmas card for a change. This card ended up quite summery looking, probably due to my colour choices, but it’s sure to brighten up someone’s day.

I got the Lawn Fawn Treat Yourself stamp set a while back, but have only just got around to using it on a card. I stamped the images onto white card and coloured with my alcohol markers, then cut the images out.

On my card base, I used the MFT Radiating Rays stencil. The MFT Sunrise Radiating Rays stencil would work very well too. I inked this over my card base with Squeezed Lemonade distress oxide ink. I then removed the stencil and added some more ink to the card base, as this softens the rays and helps blend them a little better, I feel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Treat Yourself set at the bottom of the card, then added the images above. I used foam tape for the ice cream tub and spoon, to give this mostly one layer card some more dimension.

Have a lovely day,

Gemma
