Simon Says Stamp - August Card Kit...
Hey,
Following on from the fun class last Friday, I thought I'd try a couple of the techniques alongside my SSS Aug cardkit.
I am super pleased with the end result.
It was also very easy to make.
I started by die-cutting a piece of Ranger watercolour card, using a MFT stitched rectangle die.
I used clear embossing powder to heat emboss Summer onto my die-cut piece. This formed the anchor for all the other items.
I used the blending technique that Cheiron taught me on Friday and coloured the panel using 3 colours of distress ink - Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Peacock Feathers. It actually turned out well..I still need practice..
To finish off the card, I stamped Hello and used the sunshine die, both of which came in the cardkit. I also stamped a sun (see him peeking in) using a weird thank you stamp I have...
I wanted the inked panel to be the hero, so kept the backing paper simple, but with enough detail for the inked panel to pop.
I am looking forward to more playing with this fun kit.
Cx
