Light Bulb Moments

Step By Step Instructions

1. I first made my background on my card front by die cutting a piece of cardstock using SugarCut – Harlequin Cover Plate.  I arranged the die cut piece off the left and bottom edge a tiny bit then taped all sides with painters tape to hold in place while I sponged on the ink.

2. I used my MISTI to stamp my image from Let’s Fiesta.  Since I was not coloring him, I used Versafine Onyx Black ink (this ink is not Copic friendly) to get a nice dark image against my background and the MISTI allowed me stamp multiple times to achieve this. 

3. I heat embossed my sentiment on black cardstock using white embossing powder.  Made a strip and placed it on my card front. 

4.  I stamped the same image on the back of my envelope.   I just think stamping the envelope makes it more special and Happy Mail from the minute the recipient sees the envelope. 

5.  I made a liner from copy paper for the inside with a 1/8″ inch border all around.  Then I stamped off the image off the bottom corner and added my sentiment.  This just completes the look. 

One layer card, mail friendly. Whoot Whoot.

Another use for the SugarCut – Harlequin Cover Plate die, a stencil, who knew?
