Hi Lovelies!
Welcome to Simon Says Stamp's STAMPtember® 2024 Blog Party! Get your snacks and favorite drinks and join this INSPIRATION Party! There's so much to see and sooo many treats along the way! Be sure to visit the Simon Says Stamp Blog to check out all the other STAMPtember Blog Party projects!
I'll be joining you with a cuppa of my favorite brew as in honor of today's card, I've got a bit of a PAR-TEA going! I dug out my markers and my Pawsitively Saturated Inks for a whole lot of coloring and ink-blending to bring this whimsical scene to life. If I can make this, YOU definitely can!
I generally limit my alcohol ink marker coloring, but the Par-Tea set was irresistible and inspired me to go for it!!

EMBOSSING AND INKING EMBOSSED IMAGE
Arrange stamps on a 6" x 8 1/2" Neenah 110lb White Cardstock. NOTE: I stamped and colored all images from the set, but we will not use all of them on this card.
Stamp using Memento Tuxedo Black, until you have a even impression.
Color images using the selectecd makers (see table above). NOTE: Ignore the large tea-cups, upside down girl and, watch, hearts and cards; they wont't be used in today's card.
Align coordinating dies over colored images and secure with your favorite low-tack adhesive. NOTE: I'm using painter's tape.
Set aside the needed die-cuts for the collage.
EMBOSSING, INK-BLENDING & DIE-CUTTING
Emboss a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Neenah 110lb White Cardstock using the Arched Trees Embossing Folder.
Emboss and then die-cut a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Neenah 110lb White Cardstock using the Arched Trees Embossing Folder and the matching die.
Use a Large Blending Brushes to apply Melon, Citrine, Sunbeam, Surf, Marine, Field, and Fairway Inks to the embossed ONLY background.
Use a Large Blending Brushes to apply Cappucino, Mocha, Field, and Fairway Inks to the embossed and die-cut background. Trim both backgrounds to 4" x 5 1/4".
Apply Thin Foam Dots to the back side of the embossed and die-cut background and adhere the ink-blended embossed only background.
Apply Foam Tap to the layered backgrounds and adhere to a white 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" Card Base.
SENTIMENTS & ASSEMBLY
Ink-blend Surf and Fairway Inks onto a scrap of white cardstock.
Once dry, stamp with the selected sentiment and then die-cut.
Arrange Par-tea die-cuts on card front and cover with Glad Press N Seal film to hold in place before flipping over and applying Bearly Arts Craft Glue.
Adhere to card front.
This was so fun to make and I was so surprised with the final result once I put all the pieces together.
