We made this card at our June Stamp Club meeting. It may seem familiar. That’s because we made something very similar at my Open House last weekend. You can see that card here. This is a slightly more advanced version using the “stamping off” technique, and with extra layers.
The Stamping Off Technique in 3 easy steps:
1) Ink up your stamp. In this case we inked up the background stamp from the You’ve Got This stamp set with Tip Top Taupe.
2) Stamp lightly onto your grid sheet, or a scrap piece of paper that is a little absorbent but not too much. By looking at the grid sheet in the photo, you can tell I made several of these.
3) Now stamp your card stock. That’s it! Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Here’s the difference in the Tip Top Taupe ink stamped off and stamped directly. See how much darker the one on the right is? The Watermelon Wonder flower would have gotten lost in such a deep background color.
We finished off the card with a sentiment stamped in Soft Suede and three of the large Pearl Basic Jewels.
Here’s what we used:
Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
