Tuesday Tip - Make Multiples
Diane has a stamping tip for us today:
"When you use your big background stamps, stamp extras in various colors to have ready for future projects."
Check out some of the fun ways she used her Diagonal Plaid backgrounds.
Tuesday Tutorial:
Esther shares a fun tutorial for creating a rainbow stripe background using paper strips.
Directions:
1. Cut a bunch of paper strips in rainbow colors
2. Adhere them at an angle on across your card front
3. Trim strips and use the trimmed strips to finish your card front
4. Trim all edges
Tuesday Technique - Adding Dimension
In today's blog post, Esther shows us how to add a bit of dimension to our images.
For the butterfly, she stamped the image twice, fussy cut the wings of the butterfly, and glued them over the original image.
For the flower, she stamped the image twice, fussy cut a second flower, snipped between each petal, and popped it up with dimensional tape over the first one.
Supplies and Tools: Botanical Collages, Floral Doily Stencil, and Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink
