Friends Forever

The sanded background stamp works perfectly when you want to dirty up the white a bit. I used So Saffron to give the illusion of sunshine. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Season of Friendship

   Sanded

   Number of Years

Paper:

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

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Cajun Craze

   Early Espresso

   Night of Navy

   So Saffron

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Large Numbers Framelits Dies

   Sponge

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I stamped, die cut, and sponged my banner. I stamped it using Archival Basic Black. I then die cut it using the Large Numbers Framelits. Lastly, I sponged it with some So Saffron ink.

I then took the Sanded background and "sanded" the background with a bit of So Saffron.

Next, I stamped the tree trunk in the lower center of the card with some Early Espresso.

I added leaves to the branches with Cajun Craze. 

Next, I stamped two blue birds using Night of Navy ink. 

Lastly, I attached the sentiment with dimensionals and added the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card using liquid adhesive.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Artfully Asian

 These two background stamps layered onto each other created a messy background. Still, the flowers and leaves, once colored, shone through nicely. Don't you think?

Stamps:

   Artfully Asian

   And Many More

   Sanded

   Wonderfully Worn

Paper:

   Cherry Cobbler A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink & Markers:

   Cherry Cobbler

   Garden Green

   Pumpkin Pie

   Archival Basic Black

Technique:

   None

Accessories:

   Cherry Cobbler Candy Dots

   Adhesive

I was challenged to use two different backgrounds with two different colors layered on each other. So, I began with a Whisper White panel and two backgrounds: Sanded and Wonderfully Worn.

I then chose a stamp set that had images to color. I selected Artfully Asian from my collections and stamped three different images. 

I then colored them and adhered the panel onto the card base.

Paper:

   Really Rust A-2, 2-1/4 x 2, Scrap

   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4, 2-3/4 x 2-1/2

   Whisper White 5 x 3-3/4, 2-1/2 x 2-1/4

Ink:

   Black StazOn

   Really Rust

   VersaMark

   White Gel Pen

Technique:

   Heat Embossing

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Black Embossing Powder

   Gold Brads

   Dimensionals

   Sponge

   Adhesive

   Embossing Buddy

   Scallop Punch

The sentiment is heat embossed. So, I took a Really Rust scrap and powdered it with my embossing buddy. Then, I stamped it with VersaMark and applied Black embossing powder. I heat set it and left it to cool for a bit. I then punched it out with my scallop punch. Applied the white gel pen dots. When it was time to assemble it was attached with two gold brads.

Next, I worked on the three pieces with the cap. I stamped the cap on the Really Rust piece using StazOn ink. I outlined it using the white gel pen. I then took the Whisper White piece and sponged it with Really Rust. I adhered the Really Rust onto the Whisper White and then onto the Basic Black. I pierced a gold brad through these three pieces to make sure they stayed together. The gold brad is the top of the cap. I then added the White gel pen dots around the Black square.

I stamped the Whisper White panel using the Sanded Background stamp and Really Rust ink. This was then adhered onto the Basic Black panel and then onto the Really Rust card base. 

The cap squares were added using dimensionals. The sentiment can be added with the gold brads, adhesive, or dimensionals. All of these work.
