Less = More! What does that mean, you ask? Well, simply create a card with a stamped image, but NO coloring! That's not easy for a crafter that loves color! So I resorted to a recent video, that My friend Judy, mention on her blog. It was for Double stamping. So that is what I did here. When you use clear stamps, it is easy. Just ink up a clean stamp and stamp onto paper, clean it again and use another color and stamp again.
I used GKD chocolate brown and ivory CS for the base, layered some DP from WeR Memory Keepers Anthologie pack. I double stamped the image from Flourishes Chrysthamums, with Grass Green, Sweet corn, and Sweet Mango onto a panel of white and layered on to Chocolate. The "Hello" die is from Simon Says Stamps. I love the simple hand writing of this die. Some buttons and gingham ribbon added for more color. But NO coloring!
Thanks so much for your comments!
It's beautiful! I like this look but alas, even with a clear stamp my eyesight is not too great so it is still hard for me to align up things. Perhaps I should use a stamp positioner but got so used to eyeballing it, and never thought that I would eventually be partially blind in one eye. Thanks for sharing! Hope your have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWow, love your card and love that wonderful, creative stamping idea without having to get the Copics out! I am filing this idea away for the future. Your Flourishes stamp is so pretty and perfect for your fun technique. BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun, beautiful stamp, and I love the creative way you have stamped it! Who needs Copics when you can have color like this! Great job!
ReplyDeleteWell, aren't you the CLEVER one??? Isn't that technique just so much fun? I would never have thought to use it like this!! Well done! I love your pretty colors and the layout is awesome.
