I've been toying with a design idea for the new Sheltering Tree stamp set. It's all been in my head, and yesterday I finally got a chance to execute it. It took three tries before I was happy with it, but I really really love the final design.It's a "spotlight" card and I was trying to communicate the transition from winter to spring. The text, "you warm my heart" fit perfectly with the design.
I say this card took me three tries, but that isn't because it's hard. I just kept playing with different colors. I first started with White cardstock on the front, but there was no contrast. Then I realized the perfect "winter" feeling was gray--Basic Gray to be accurate.
I thought it might be fun to do a pictorial for this card as I have yet to get my technology up for video.
Here's the skinny:
The rest is just layering, which you can no doubt figure out on your own.
Here's the material list for this project:
Paper/Ink: Whisper White, Basic Gray, Blushing Bride
Stamp: Sheltering Tree
Accessories: Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies (the heart framelit), Sweet Sadie washi
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you're inspired to make something today. Go stamp!
Until next time, stay crafty!

ReplyDeletePicture #4 is the final step of making the top layer.
ReplyDeletePicture #5 is what the layer that peeks from underneath looks like before the two are attached.
Hope that helps ��
