Celebrating a 75th Birthday with "It's a Science"

Hello crafty friends!

I do hope you've had a great week this week of Thanksgiving!

I've been quite busy with many other things going on and haven't been able to publish many posts lately. However, I do want to share a special card that I just created yesterday for my father-in-law's 75th birthday.

This card features the It's a Science stamp set on a fun-fold card. My FAVORITE part was the "foam" coming out of the flask that goes perfectly with the sentiment. 

Cardmaking Tips:

• Finished card size - 6" x 6"
• fun fold card measurements were CASED from Mitosu Crafts
• I only used 2 pieces of DSP (5-3/4" x 3-3/4") for the larger areas of the card.
• Color Combo: Misty Moonlight, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Granny Apple Green and Coastal Cabana
• To create the main background, stamp the cells and bubbles images onto a piece of watercolor paper with Daffodil Delight ink and Coastal Cabana ink. Alternate those colors using the two different images, being sure to clean your stamps in between.
• Mix together some water from your water painter and a drop of Daffodil Delight ink on a small clear block then brush it directly onto the stamped images. Repeat the same with the Coastal Cabana ink.
• Cut a 1/8" x 3" strip of Basic Gray cardstock, adhere towards the bottom of the main background piece as your table top.
• Stamp the flasks image onto a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and color with the following Stampin' Blends: Misty Moonlight, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Granny Apple Green 
• fussy cut the flasks and adhere to the table top with liquid glue, except for the round bottom flask.
• As for the round bottom flask, I chose to use some of my retired Snowfall Accents Puff Paint to make it look like the liquid was foaming out of the flask. Then adhere the flask to the card front using a couple of dimensionals.
• Use the same paper that was created for the background image to cut out the paper on the clipboard and the small balloon.
• The sentiment was cut out using the die from the Gorgeously Made dies.
• The balloons were stamped and cut out using the Beautiful Balloons Bundle.

Cardmaking Supplies:

All the supplies used for this project are shown below, except for the Snowfall Accents puff paint which is retired.
