We loved the first-ever stamp collection from Adventures in Ink so much that Nicky created more cards than would fit in issue 123 of Creative Stamping! Here is the bonus make, plus an extra look at the cards featured in this issue.

Thanks for being there for me

Materials
white A6 card blank
watercolour & white cardstock
Adventures in Ink Gathered & Honesty stamp sets
Nocturne & Tulip Red VersaFine Clair inkpads
VersaMark inkpad
white embossing powder
Blue Wish & Teal Marine Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Sparkles
Tonic Studios Nuvo Aqua Flow pens
sequins
waterbrush
heat tool
3D foam tape

How to create
1 Trim watercolour cardstock to A6 size. Stamp the circle in the centre using clear ink and white heat-emboss.
2 Use a waterbrush to dampen the circle then sprinkle Pixie Sparkles in the centre, further activating with more water. Dry using a heat tool and repeat for the desired depth of colour.
3 Paint water around the outside of the circle, then drop ink from the Aqua Flow pens, mixing shades together. The embossing serves as a barrier to stop the colours from merging with the blue.
4 On thin white cardstock, stamp the rose and two hands, then colour in. Cut out the rose stem and head, the leaves can be coloured directly on the panel. Adhere directly to the panel across the centre, then adhere the two hands reaching for each other.
5 Stamp the sentiment above and below the image in black, then stamp flowers and foliage in red around the edge of the panel. Trim to fit the card blank, layer onto white cardstock and affix to the card front. Add sequins to finish.

Top tip
If your cardstock has warped, affix it to another thick piece of cardstock to straighten it up before adhering to the card blank
