First Communion card using Maker Forte

  Hello crafty friends! Boy do I have a treat for you today... I have an adorable card to share with you featuring a beautiful stamp set from Maker Forte called "My first Communion" AND I have my first YouTube video that shows how I put this together. Be gentle...I was nervous in my 12 seconds of talking. 

I just love the shine the Maker Forte mercury Kaleidoscope Powder gives this card. I blended Pumice distress Oxide ink through the "In Bloom" Jess Francisco stencil and brushed Mercury Kaleidoscope powder over it. {I sprayed it lightly with aerosol hairspray to set the powder so it wouldn't rub off} I also stamped the sentiment with Pumice Distress Oxide ink and used the kaleidoscope powder for that as well. 

I stamped the girl using Eclipse Black re-Mark-able ink and colored her in with Copic Markers. {in the video, you can see how I added pleats to the dress with just a little color}

Dress: W1, W0, W00

Skin: E000, E00, R30-cheeks

Hair: Y32, E33, E35

I fussy cut her out and layered all of my panels together {listed in order from bottom to top}:

Card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

Stormy (Metallic Slate) cardstock: 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"

Ultra White - Heavy Weight 110lb Cover: 5 1/4" x 4"

Stormy (Metallic Slate) cardstock: 3 1/8" x 1 1/4"

Ultra White - Heavy Weight 110lb Cover: 3" x 1 1/8" {piece with sentiment}

I used foam to pop up the 5 3/" x 4 1/4" white panel on the Stormy cardstock, but in the video I put the foam on the Stormy cardstock by mistake. I like the foam on the white panel better. I also popped up the girl image and sentiment panels using foam tape. 

Thank you for stopping by and thank you for your support! If you shop through any of my links, I get a small portion of the sale and that enables me send little happy mail packages to my kids in college. Have a happy crafty day!
