Triple Stamping

-
For this card I used a technique I had not used before - triple stamping. It was a really fun technique - I'll definitely be trying it out again!




I used a blue memento ink to stamp the snowflakes and the reindeer onto the 3 separate panels. I tend to use black ink (boring, I know!) so it was nice to stamp in a different colour! The stamps are a set by Spellbinders that came free with a magazine. I added some shading to the reindeer image using grey alcohol markers. I glittered all of the 3 stamped panels with a white translucent glitter and also added the glitter to the reindeer's body. I'm not sure if you can tell this from the photos.




I added silver glittered mats to the layers to fill in the gaps and complete the continuous pattern. Silver glitter glue accents were the finishing touches. The finished card measures 5x7 inches.




I will be entering this into the following challenges:

It's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Catz and this week our theme is anything goes with the optional twist of "layer it up". Digi Doodle Studios  is our sponsor for this week and they kindly gave the team our images to play with - I've chosen to use the beautiful Bella Butterfly digi stamp. I used my Spectrum Noir alcohol pens to colour the image. The butterfly paper came free with an old issue of Papercraft Inspirations and the other patterned papers are from the Bebunni range off a Crafters Companion CD rom. I used some pink core'dinations for the mats. The part of Spellbinders adorning squares that I cut down. I added some white Nuvo drops to finish. The card size is 6"x6". I will be entering this one into the following challenges: Creatalicious  #134 anything goes with optional girly Lil Patch of Crafty Friends #77 anything goes My Bestie Spanish Challenge #45 todo vale Digi Doodle Studios #3 feminine fancy Penny's

Crafty Catz Challenge - One For The Girls

Hello all, hope you are well. As some of you may know, I was GDT for Crafty Catz Challenge for January. But they have asked me to stay on as part of their design team...and of course I said yes! We have a new challenge for you today - it is anything goes with the optional theme of "one for the girls". This week Star Stamps is sponsoring us, and they kindly gave us some beautiful images to play with. On my card I have used the Belle Chibi digi stamp. The digi stamp was printed onto Canson "C" à grain paper (it has a bit of a "tooth" to it so is better for use with coloured pencils than a super smooth card) and I coloured the image in using my Spectrum Noir Colourblend pencils. I really enjoyed colouring this one in - I'm pretty happy with how the pleats turned out but I definitely need to practice a bit more! I inked around the edges to give more of a vintage look. The papers are from different pads picked up cheaply (some are some old Paperma
