Yesterday I showed you a card that was made using the Stamping Off technique. You can see that post here. Today I have another card using the same technique, but in a slightly different way.
After inking up my stamp, I stamped directly on the card stock three times, instead of stamping off onto a piece of scrap paper first. I got three stampings from one inking. I started at the bottom and worked my way up, using the Stamp-a-ma-jig to make sure the images were lined up. With the gradual change from light down to dark, I’m trying to convey someone saying,”thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!” Did it work?
After matting the sentiment, I attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Night of Navy can be a dark and serious color, so I used Cucumber Crush, Pumpkin Pie, and Whisper White to lighten things up a bit. Three banners of varying lengths and widths were created with the Banner Triple Punch.
Three Night of Navy Candy Dots add balance – visually the Night of Navy now frames the entire card. I used a template from the Essentials paper piercing pack and a very light touch with the Paper-Piercing Tool to determine where the dots should be. I pierced tiny holes, not all the way through the paper, then covered the holes with the dots. I used the straight edge of my bone folder to make sure they were straight.
Here’s what I used:
Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
