Next layer is Orchid Opulence with a strip of Whisper White on the right that has been punched with the Scallop Trim Border Punch. Next layer is So Saffron. Then image is stamped on Whisper White. Ink pads used: So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Orchid Opulence. Sentiment from Well Scripted set is stamped in Certainly Celery on So Saffron Large Oval, backed by Scallop Oval. Butterfly is punched with the Butterfly Punch from the Shades of Spring designer series paper in the mini-catalog that ends April 30. Butterfly is adhered with mini glue dot. (Love those mini glue dots!)
This stamp set is on special April 1 - 30. It is a sneak peek - it is a stamp set that will be in the new Idea Book and Catalog that comes out in July. I made a sample for Stamp Club and am uploading it here. If I make more cards with this set, I'll come back and upload them into this post.
This stamp set has a lot of pieces - the clear mount comes in two separate cases rubber banded together.
It is quite versatile as to how you can color it. It is a Two-Step set, which means we stamp the outline and then go back and stamp the color inside of it. Using a stamp-a-ma-jig would be very helpful. I didn't use it with this sample - I was in a hurry. I did it in about 15 minutes before April stamp club -- BUT -- I had gotten everything together the night before. That makes a huge difference. I had been wondering how Heather in Canada was able to make a card and video just about every day with 4 small children - one of them 3 and one 5 months. I'm thinking she just has to do things in steps, one of them being get all the stuff together. Then go take care of baby. Then come make card parts. Go take care of little ones. Then come back and put card together while videoing!
Anyway -- some of the techniques that can be used with this set. Before that though -- one thing with the clear mount stamps - you can mount images on the block at the same time.
And other trick I saw was to mount the outline images on one block and lay it down stamp up. Then lay another clear block over that and adhere your coordinating solid images in the same layout (see Marker to Stamp technique below).
- Standard Two-Step Stamping - stamp outline, then use ink pad to ink up the solid image and stamp it within the outline.
- Use Watercolor Crayons directly on the solid rubber images. Spritz with water and stamp for a natural watercolored look.
- Use the Marker-to-Stamp technique and color on the solid rubber images. Use multiple markers for a beautiful, colorful image.
- Kissing technique.
- Use just the line images and color them in with your favorite technique (watercolor crayons, watercolor pencils, pastels, ink refills, etc.
- Embossing and Embossing Resist Techniques
- Poppin' Pastels Technique
