'Happy Retirement' Stamped Panel Card Tutorial
How to make this retirement card with a stamped panel and die cut image.

1
Stamp the gentleman and pocket watch images on an A6 piece of cardstock and create masks to cover them, then stamp a cluster of text across the bottom, as shown.
2
Die-cut the image using a small hexagon die and cut a larger hexagon from the black cardstock. Colour the die-cut image using Distress Ink applied to a craft mat and picked up with a waterbrush. Once dry, adhere the panel to the black matt.
3
Dilute a small amount of Blueprint Sketch ink on the craft mat and make splatters on the stamped background. Once dry, trim the stamped panel slightly and adhere it onto the card base, then adhere the focal image to the card front using 3D foam pads. Stamp and adhere the sentiment banner.
