How to Make a Rainbow Twine Card

This Tied with Love Stamp and Die Bundle makes perfect background and focal elements. The twine is surprisingly realistic for one stamped layer. I love this stamp set for all those times you want to add the dimension of twine without adding bulk to your card. Could you imagine all the twine I would have had to use to make this card instead of stamping it?

How to Make This Card

1. Using watercolor, woodless coloring pencils, or in my case, alcohol markers, create a rainbow edge as seen on the left side of the card. Set aside.
2. On a full panel of white cardstock, repeat stamping the longer wrapped twine image in Altenew Crisp Dye Inks (ALT). Change the orientation of the stamp and overlap images for more variability.
3. Trim off a narrow strip from both ends of the wrapped twine background. Trim enough paper to expose the rainbow edge border.
4. On another panel of white cardstock, stamp the heart twine and love sentiment in black ink. Die cut the black stamped images.
5. Foam mount the twine wrapped background on top of the rainbow edge panel. Arrange black stamped images on top with coordinating sentiment.
6. Add black enamel dots to embellish the card (ALT).

Die Cut Background HACK

I featured two NEW items from the ‘All Things Handmade’ Collection in this card. The Alcohol Ink 6X6 Paper Pad acts as a perfect backdrop to the An Artist’s Collection images. Assembling this card took quite some time, but I am thrilled with the result of the background.

How to Make This Card

1. On a panel of 6X6 Alcohol Ink Backgrounds, repeat white heat emboss the ink puddles from An Artist’s Collection Stamp Set (ALT). Use the coordinating dies to cut the images; be mindful of color groups and keep them together.
2. Stamp the paint palette, brush, and paint tube in Permanent Black Ink (ALT). Use Alcohol Markers to color in the watercolor trays (ALT). Add white highlights with a gel pen.
3. Gradient stamp the sentiment onto the lid of the watercolor palette. Die cut all the stamped images.
4. With the Metallic Watercolor Pan Set, add an array of splatters that coordinate with the colors in the palette and paint puddles (ALT).
5. Space and foam mount the paint puddle die cuts on top of the splatter background, keeping similarly colored puddles together for a flowing appearance.
6. Foam mount and arrange the black stamped elements on top of the die cut background.
