I have a blog I have been following for a while – Stamp and Scrap with Frenchie. Last week she posted several videos using different techniques for using Day of Gratitude to create cards that were not fall themed. There was one she did that I thought was so pretty that I decided to give it a try.
I began with the color challenge from Pals Paper Arts
I thought these colors would be great to try her technique. I chose to use the sketch challenge at Stamping 411.
In the video Frenchie inked her stamp with Versamark, stamped it, and then used chalks to color it. I decided to try a little twist on her technique. I used markers to color the stamp then stamped it on white paper. Then I cleaned the stamp and inked it up with Versamark then stamped it on top of the colored one. I then embossed it with Iridescent Ice and cut it out. I stamped the center again and cut it out and added a rhinestone so I could pop it on top. When I laid it on the image layer, the white layer was too plain so I pulled out the leaf in the set and stamped it in Pear Pizzazz. To finish the layer off I sponged the edges giving a little extra in the corners. I then added a Melon Mambo and Peach Parfait layer. I sponged the edges of the card also and added a ribbon and added the layers with dimensionals. Here is what I created.
