Knitted Season

2-Step Stamping allows you to add color quickly to your images. So, what seems to take a long time is accomplished rather quickly. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Merry Patterns

Paper:

   Basic White A-2, 2-3/4" Sq., 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Merry Moments DSP 3 x 4-1/4

   Basic Black 2-7/8" Sq.

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Cherry Cobbler

   Dry Embossing

   Die Cutting

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Cable Knit Embossing Folder

   Layering Circles Framelits Dies

   Metallic Sequins

   Sponge

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the candles in the Basic White square, using Tuxedo Black Memento. (Step One)

I then filled in three of the candles, using Cherry Cobbler and the other three, using Old Olive. I used Daffodil Delight on the flames. (Step Two)

Next, I added a bit of greenery underneath the candles, using Old Olive.

I then die cut the circle, using the Layering Circles Framelits Dies. I used the next larger size, and die cut the Basic Black square, using the scalloped circle in the same die set.

Next, I sponged the stamped circle, using Cherry Cobbler ink and adhered it onto the Basic Black scalloped circle.

I then dry embossed the Merry Moments DSP, using the Cable Knit Embossing Folder. I adhered it onto the Basic White card front.

Next, I stamped the sentiment on the top of the Basic White card front, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. (Step One) I filled it in, using Old Olive. (Step Two)

I then attached the candles, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a Metallic Star Sequin and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

I used a masking technique called Retiform. I followed the tutorial at Split Coast Stampers. There are written instructions with pictures and a short video at Retiform Technique. 

Basically, I set up the mask, stamped and sponged. I then moved the mask to a new position and repeated, until my card front was full. I stamped the images, using Night of Navy and sponged, using Bermuda Bay. Have some fun!

Swirly Blue Candles

This stamp set is one of the easiest to stamp. Even the candle flames are easy to line up. You can easily add embellishments to the card if you like. This is definitely one that can be easily duplicated. You can even change the colors to suit your own taste. What would you do?

Stamps:

Paper:

   Night of Navy A-2

   Balmy Blue 5-1/4 x 4

   Pineapple Punch 3 x 4

   Whisper White 2-7/8 x 4, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Night of Navy

   Balmy Blue

   Pineapple Punch

Technique:

   Dry Embossing

Accessories:

   Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder

   Adhesive

First, I dry embossed my background and adhered the Balmy Blue panel to the Night of Navy card base.

Next, I stamped my candles and sentiment. I filled in one set of candles with Night of Navy and the other set with Balmy Blue.

I then stamped the candle flames with Pineapple Punch.

I adhered the Whisper White panel to the Pineapple Punch panel, and then onto the middle of the Balmy Blue embossed panel.

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

I chose to keep this card simple, but you can easily add some rhinestones, pearls, sequins, or any other embellishments that you please.
