Triplets

2-Step Stamping allows you to add the right accents with little effort. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Two-Tone Flora

   Something Fancy

Paper:

   Fresh Freesia A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Fresh Freesia

   Gorgeous Grape

   Shaded Spruce

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   2-Step Stamping

Accessories:

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink on the top of a Basic White panel.

I then stamped three large florals on the panel, using Fresh Freesia ink.

Next, I added the accents to these florals, using Gorgeous Grape ink. 

*This is a photopolymer stamp set, so alignment is easy.

I then added leaves to the florals, using Shaded Spruce. I did stamp-off first, so the leaves would be a bit lighter.

Next, I filled in some of the white space with a longer leaf, using Shaded Spruce.

I then adhered the panel onto the Fresh Freesia card front.

Lastly, I added a few Basic Rhinestone Jewels and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Sketchy Thank You

Here is a clean and simple triptych card. The background, cut into three panels, is a coloring book page. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:

   Lemon Lime Twist A-2

   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4, Scraps

   Coloring Book Page 5 x 3-3/4 cut @ 1" on both sides

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), Scraps

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Markers:

   Florescent - Personal Choice

Technique:

   Triptych

Accessories:

   Small Oval Punch

   Large Oval Punch

   1/8" Handheld Punch

   Basic Black Solid Baker's Twine

   Tacky Tape

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I colored a page in my coloring book and then cut it to the measurements listed above.

I then adhered the three panels onto a Basic Black matte.

Next, I stamped a sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and a scrap of Basic White. 

I punched it out with a Small Oval Punch and adhered it to a Basic Black Oval. I used the Large Oval Punch and a scrap of Basic Black for the matte. I added a few dimensionals to the oval.

Next, I used a handheld punch to poke a hole on each side of the Basic Black oval, and I threaded some Black Baker's Twine through it and secured the twine on the back of the panel with a bit of tacky tape. I made sure the sentiment was centered on the front of the card.

I then adhered the Basic Black panel onto the Lemon Lime Twist card front. 

Lastly, I added a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Here is a clean and simple masculine card that can be used for any occasion that calls for a celebration. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Happy Celebrations

First, I stamped the sentiment, using Basic Gray ink.

I then stamped the sentiment again, but I off-set it, just a tad to the right, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. This created the shadow effect.

Next, I adhered the Confetti Celebration DSP panel onto the bottom of the Crushed Curry card front.

I then added a Basic Gray strip above it.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Heart & Soul, Too

I found that acrylic paint dries rather quickly. So, you have to work fast. I was glad to get a few brush strokes on paper. What do you think? 

Heart & Soul

Stamps:

   Good Feelings

Paper:

   Tempting Turquoise A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Mixed Media 5-1/4 x 4

   Turquoise

   Purple

Technique:

   Acrylic Paint

Accessories:

   Brights Enamel Shapes

   Stamparatus/MISTI/Stamp-a-ma-jig

   Adhesive

   Brush

First, I brushed on some Bright Yellow acrylic paint over the top of the card. 

I then brushed some Purple underneath it, leaving the natural white space that was not covered by the paint.

Next, I added a line of Turquoise and then finished the front with a bit more of the Bright Yellow.

I then set my panel inside my Stamparatus and stamped it, using the Good Feelings stamp set and a bit of Tuxedo Black Memento. I decided to use the Stamparatus in case I needed to stamp the words more than once. 

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Tempting Turquoise card front.

Lastly, I added some Brights Enamel Shapes and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Since, I painted two panels at the same time, here is the other card, using another stamp from the set:
