You mean so MOCHI to me

You mean so MOCHI to me

 

 

Hey, Terri here! Today I am sharing a cute Mochi card using the new "You mean so mochi"stamp set.

 

I started by stamping 5 of the Mochi stamps using a grey ink, onto super smooth 80lb cardstock. I then stamped a mochi onto a piece of masking paper and used my craft knife to cut it out, creating an stencil to ink blnd with. I chose 5 colours of Distress Oxide inks and blended then with a small brush.

 

 

Ink blending through a stencil created from masking paper allows me to add ink quickly to the images and keeps the outer edge clean ready for die cutting. I used some of the images that come in the set to add faces to the mochi, this really adds personality to them. I also stamped and ink blended some of the leaves and hearts in the same way before using the coordinating You mean so mochi dies to cut the images.

 

To create the backgorund I cut the xoxo backdrop portrait die from white 110lb cardstock and adhered it to an A2 cardbase that I had added a little ink to. I used Oliver's Stitched ABCs dies to cut the letters to spell out MOCHI, I cut them 3 times. Once from pink ink blended card and twice from white card, I then adhered them together to create a thicker die cut. I then added some stardust stickles to them and set them aside to dry.

 

 

To create the rest of the sentiment I used the You mean so mochi stamp set, I white heat embossed my chosen sentiments onto black cardstock and trimmed them with my guillotine. Now it was time to put the card togehter.

 

I added the die cut sentiment first as this acted as a place marker so that I knew where to add the other elements. I then stacked the Mochi using foam pads. I added leaves to some and embellishem them with glitter and white gel pen highlights. I then added the heat embossed sentiment pieces using foam tape before finally adding the 3 hearts.
