  3. Use a small spatula to place a  pile of Yesteryear Yellow Magical Powder from the Steampunk Soiree Magical Pigment Powder Set onto the craft mat. 
  4. Fold a baby wipe and press the top part of it into the pigment powder. 
  5. Drag the baby wipe vertically on the Mixed Media paper, working from the outside edges towards the center.*
  6. Dip the wipe into the powder and apply it again. Continue until the powder pile is gone. 
  7. Clean your craft mat.
  8. Place a small pile of Apothecary Azure Magical Powder from the Steampunk Soiree Magical Pigment Powder Set onto the craft mat. 
  9. Use a clean baby wipe to repeat the process described above. The pigment powder colors will begin to blend. 
  10. When the powder is gone, clean your mat.
  11. Place a small pile of Pocket Watch Pewter Magical Powder onto the craft mat.
  12. Use a clean baby wipe to add additional color to your background. 
  13. When done with the powder, clean your craft mat, then heat set the background panel. *
  14. Place the background panel onto a magnetic craft mat.
  15. Place the Steamheart Gears Stencil PC-270 over the background panel and secure with low-tack tape and/or magnets.

  18. Use stipple brushes to apply specks of Mango Madness, Pumpkin Spice, Turquoise Gem, Night Sky VersaMagic Ink to the background. *
  19. Heat set the panel and set it aside. 
  20. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the cat and the dog from the Precision Paws Clear Stamp Set 1373 onto white Copic-friendly cardstock. 
  21. Use the same ink to stamp the Time Tinkerer from the Time Tinkerer Clear Stamp Set 1374 onto white cardstock. 
  22. Fussy-cut all three images.
  23. Use Copic markers to color all three images, then edge them with a black marker. 
  24. Use a White Gelly Roll Gel Pen to add highlights to the Time Tinkerer's eyes.
  25. Use a white colored pencil or a white watercolor pencil to add highlights to the cat's eyes (I wanted them to be fainter as his eyes are covered by glasses) and to the watchface. Set the characters aside.
  26. Use low-tack tape and/or magnets to secure the piece of mixed media paper left over from Step 17 onto the base of a stamping platform.
  27. Place all three sentiment stamps from the Precision Paws Clear Stamp Set 1373  facedown onto the piece of mixed media paper.
  28. Press the platform's lid onto the back of the stamp and lift.
  29. Ink the sentiments with  Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp. Re-ink and stamp again if needed to attain a good impression. 
  30. Remove the stamped paper from the stamping platform. 
  31. Add clear detail embossing powder to the wet ink, dump the excess powder back into its container, and heat set the powder. 
  32. Use sentiment strip dies to cut the three sentiments, trim them, and edge them with the Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink.
  33. Adhere the three sentiments to the reserved 5 5/8" square background panel.
  34. Adhere the dog, cat, and the Time Tinkerer atop the sentiments as shown to create the card front.
  35. Cut a piece of copper metallic cardstock to 5.75" square and use it to mat the card front. 
  36. Back a small piece of the copper metallic cardstock with double-sided tape.
  37. Use a sentiment die from the Like Clockwork Frame Moonstone Die Set to cut copper metallic cardstock. 
  38. Adhere the sentiment as shown. 
  39. Adhere the card front to the reserved 6" square black card.
Notes:
  • I discovered the baby wipe/pigment powder technique on Instagram. Here's a link to the reel by @artful.layers .
  • True confessions. My baby wipes were almost completely dry, so I misted them with water, then used the damp wipes to drag the powders. I was quite pleased with the results.
  • I plan on experimenting further with this technique to see if it works better with moist baby wipes and with other pigment powders. 
  • VersaMagic Inks are chalk-finish pigment inks. Stippling them adds opaque matte speckles, which work well with metallics.

  17. Press the platform's lid onto the back of the stamp and lift.
  18. Ink the Swing stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp. Re-ink and stamp again if needed to attain a good impression.

  25. Smoosh the lid of the Henna Elements Premium Dye Inkpad onto the ink pad.
  26. Use the tiny paintbrush to apply the ink to the seat of the swing. 
  27. Smoosh the lid of the  Sahara Elements Premium Dye Inkpad onto the ink pad.
  28. Use the tiny paintbrush to apply the ink to the swing's ropes.

  32. Position the Dynamic Stencil over the image panel and secure with magnets. 
  33. Sponge or brush Blue Lagoon Elements Premium Dye Ink over the stencil onto the image panel avoiding Pris and the Swing.

  47. Use a cutting die to cut the sentiment and adhere it as shown.
  48. Use a white Posca Paint pen to randomly add white "stars" to the background to finish the card.
Notes:
  • Heat embossed surfaces resist dye inks.
  • My aim was not really great whilst stamping Pris, so I used black Pigma Micron pens to extend the swing's seat so that her bottom would be grounded.
  • I realized that the shimmer mostly obliterated the stenciling, so I re-did repeated the stenciling but you might not be bothered by it.
