As you can see, our Velvety Dye Inks from different seasonal palettes can be effortlessly mixed and matched for stunning results! For this project, I combined Head in the Clouds from the Spring Palette with Puya from the Autumn Palette on Barrel A, spinning the stencil at 30° intervals and inking each circle stop.
Then, I added Wild Indigo from the Winter Palette, spinning at 22.5° intervals, inking on the heart stops.
To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment “You are Beautiful Inside & Out” from the You Are Beautiful Inside & Out stamp set and finished with sapphire gems of various sizes in the center of the floral design.
Here’s a reel showing the process. I encourage you to give it a try!
Hope you’re having a great week so far! Today we have a refreshing inspiration from Mimi!
I love this fun background Mimi’s created using Damask Stencils 360°™. Using Barrel A at 45 turning intervals, she ink blended with Distress Oxide Mowed Lawn and Pine Needles while masking the lower portions of the stencil patterns.
After the full rotation, she cleaned the stencil and masked the area that she just ink blended. Then she continue ink blending the rest of the stencil pattern with Distress Oxide Mustard Seed and Brushed Corduroy.
She added some random floral details using Sakura Fubuki Stencils 360°™ Barrel B with Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry, and finished her card with a stamp image from Everyday Sentiments clear stamp set.
I love how her card gives the Hawaiian tropical vibes!
Thank you so much Mimi for your lovely inspiration!
Hi Friends! We’re super excited to have Samantha Pfrimmer Guest Designing for us today!
She wanted her card to be a one-layer card so she first started her scene by stamping out the images from Rock Climbing onto masking paper and fussy cutting each image along the black lines. Starting a one layer card by first making masks makes it easier to arrange your images when designing your layout before stamping!
Once the masks were finished, she grabbed an A2-sized panel of Copic Xpress It cardstock and stamped out her scene. She first stamped out the foreground images, applied the masks, and then stamped the background images before masking the whole scene.
She also wanted to create a hand drawn frame around her design so using masking tape, she created a border around her stamped images and then carefully hand drew a border along the masking tape using a black fine-liner pen.
Since this was to be an encouragement card, she wanted to show the featured rock climber image leaving a space that was all grayscale and moving into a place of full color. To do this, she used a sunray stencil and ink blended using Distress Oxide inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Dried Marigold, and Saltwater Taffy. Once completed the ink blending, she removed the masks and moved onto coloring with Copic Markers.
She used her stencil as a guide and color the open areas first using bright colors. Once the colorful portions were complete, she removed the stencil and finished the scene using warm grays.
To finish, she stamped a heart warming sentiment from the Rock Climbing set.
We hope this card will inspire you to play with color. Thanks for stopping by! Thanks so much Samantha for Guest Designing for us today!
I love how she used the big mansion digital image from You Lift Me Up to set the scene. She first printed that along with some other images from this digi set onto 80lb white cardstock and die cut a slimline panel using the large dotted frame from Dotted Borders Slimline pull tab die. I like how she printed and fussy cut the crane truck from a separate cardstock so that it can be placed on the foreground to create more depth!
I love the colored and die cut images from the Love You Tons stamp set which all coordinate seamlessly together with the digi stamps to tell a story!
She stamped and die cut the large cockpit image from Dream Big, while masking the clouds and also trimming them off afterwards.
On one of the large cut panels, she cut an opening to fit the front window of the plane. She adhered the die cut Dream Big image to the panel and glued a piece of acetate behind it.
Then on a separate cardstock, she created a runway and sky scene, using the clouds from the Dream Big image. She then created and attached the pull tab mechanism, and adhered the second frame panel as the backing.
