Another Creation Using Stampin'Up! Meadow Dies + Ocean Front Stamps
October 20, 2022
Today we're doing Another Creation Using Stampin'Up! Meadow Dies + Ocean Front Stamps. Tuesday we created two lovely cards using the Quiet Meadow stamps/dies with the Watercolor Shapes stamps--I also revealed a secret to the background stampind---if you missed it, check it out here https://www.sandilovesstamping.com/2022/10/stampinup-quiet-meadow-watercolor-shapes-a-secret-twist.html.
Today's creation is using the Ocean Front stamp set--probably not your first thought this time of year...but the background iage in that set provides a totally awesome shading that results in a dynamic contrast to the silhouette dies.....here's today's creation...
and now a closer peak a the shading...
Notice how the shading in the stamp goes from light to dark...then we slighty overlapped the first stamp with the second stamping and we get another gradation of color....it's such an easy background but it gives such a professionnal look.
The black silhouette contrasts perfectly with the graded coloring. We've added some twinkle and sparkle using the Pool Party sequins (Adhesive backed sequins & Gems in the Holiday mini), Then a bit of soft shine using the Pool Party ribbon ties the two flowers together at the stems.
This is such an easy card to make--you can vary the background color and the silhouette die to build your stash of cards just awaiting the right occasion to send!
Stop back by next week to see what we'll be creating then!
