Quiet Lake

The more I play with this stamp, the more I like it. I used lighter colors on this card. I am pleased with the result. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Quiet Reflection

Paper:

   Shaded Spruce A-2

   Basic White 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 4-3/4 x 3-1/2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Classic Christmas DSP 5-1/4 x 4 

Ink:

   Shaded Spruce

   Balmy Blue

Technique:

   DistINKtive

   CAS

Accessories:

   Adhesive

First, I inked up the bottom half of the stamp, using a Balmy Blue classic ink pad. I did this by carefully tapping on the classic ink pad, but you can also use a stamping spot, or a marker.

I then inked up the top half of the stamp by carefully tapping the Shaded Spruce ink pad. 

Next, I used my breath to moisten the ink, by huffing on the stamp and directly stamping on the top portion of the Basic White panel.

I then stamped the sentiment below the image, using Shaded Spruce ink.

I then adhered the panel onto a DSP panel. 

Next, I matted the DSP panel with a Basic White matte and adhered it all to the Shaded Spruce card front.

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

Misty Brain

I like the jagged edges on this stamp and the watercolor effect that it yields. Still, in retrospect, I should have maybe stamped-off at least once, or used a lighter color. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Quiet Reflection

Paper:

   Misty Moonlight A-2

   Basic White 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 4-3/4 x 3-1/2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   2020-2022 In-Color DSP 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Misty Moonlight

Technique:

   Paper Piercing

Accessories:

   Paper Piercer (Take Your Pick Tool)

   Stampin' Pierce Mat

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the image onto the top portion of the Basic White panel. This is a DistINKtive stamp, so it will show different opacity levels. 

I then stamped the sentiment below, using the same ink.

Next, I pierced the bottom two corners, using my paper piercer. If you don't have one, you can find one in the Take Your Pick Tool.

I then adhered the panel onto an In-Color DSP panel.

Next, I added a Basic White matte to the Misty Moonlight DSP, and then adhered it all to the Misty Moonlight card front.

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