Hello, friends!
Today, I have a card made using the Artiste cartridge and the April stamp of the month.
This card was actually made for my son since he just turned eleven. I knew I wanted to make it masculine, but not vintage. To accomplish this, I thought it would be fun to make the typewriter something other than black. Aqua is my favorite color, so voila!
Both the typewriter and the pointing hand are stamped and them embossed using bright colored embossing powder. Don't have lots of different colors of embossing powder, but love the look you get with embossing? No problem. Simply stamp in any color you like. Then, stamp again directly over the image with Veramark ink. Then sprinkle with clear embossing powder. Heat as usual. It will look shiny, brightly colored, and embossed with out having to house 12 or more different far of embossing powder.
If you have an Explore, here is the file: Cricut Artiste Typewriter Birthday card
If not, I cut the notebook page using the Artiste cartridge at 4".
