Hi everyone, Yvonne here sharing a beach-themed Seagull Card with a little fun gift for the receiver. Yes, the seashell I tied around the card is a bracelet!
This card is perfect to wish someone a great summer holiday. I would love to share how I made this card. Wanna join me?
Seagull Card Panel
Stamp the seagull image onto a piece of smooth white cardstock. To make a mask, stamp the image onto a sticky note and cut out the seagull and the sign he is standing on with scissors.
Place the mask over the seagull. Color its surrounding area with a soft blue ink and an ink blending tool. Remove the mask and color the image with alcohol markers. To seal and give a glossy effect on the card, I an enamel liquid. Let it dry.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside
To add a golden, sandy accent, I used the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. Place the mask you used earlier back onto the image; this is to prevent glue stains. Cut a small piece of an Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch. Remove the yellow liner and start dabbing tiny bits of adhesive around the stamped image.
Next wrinkle a piece of gold foil sheet from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. Make sure to the foil color is facing you and start dabbing onto the sticky parts.
This leaves a lovely crushed golden effect on the Seagull Card.
Mat a blue cardstock with the stamped card panel and then adhere it on a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.
Add a Unique Element
For a side accent to the card front, I simply tied a seashell bracelet around the card! To secure the shell, an adhesive dot from the Adhesive Dots 3D. Designer’s Tip: Hit it with a heat gun to soften the dot into the shell for more security! Secure the rest of the bracelet with an Adhesive Line on the inside of the card. Don’t forget to alleviate any stickiness with an anti-static powder.
And voilá your Seagull Card is ready! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you a happy summer crafting!
