Today I’m sharing a card I made for the latest Fab Friday color challenge:
What lovely Spring colors these are! They remind me of Easter, but I decided to do something different. I love the effect I’ve seen by inking a stamp with multiple colors. Here is my attempt at that technique.
The Just For You stamp from the Botanicals For You stamp set is the perfect image for this technique. It’s nice a large, so you can really see the gradation of the colors.
I used the ink pads to ink the stamp in the top and bottom colors, and a Sponge Dauber to apply the center color. After inking up the stamp in (top to bottom) Soft Sky, Blushing Bride, and Mint Macaron, I stamped it onto a piece of Whisper White card stock. I cut it with the largest die in the Lots Of Labels Framelits, then used Sponge Daubers to ink the edges in the same three colors.
I attached that to another piece of Whisper White CS whose corners I cut with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch. I glued that onto a piece of Blushing Bride CS whose corners I rounded with the Project Life Corner Punch.
For the next layer, I glued 1/2″ strips of Soft Sky and Mint Macaron CS to a piece of Whisper White CS, then trimmed around the edges. I got this idea from yesterday’s card I made using scraps. You can see that post here.
I glued the top layers to the striped layer, just to the left of center, to make room fo the Whisper White Bakers Twine that I tied around the striped layer. Then I glued it all to the Thick Whisper White CS card base.
