Creating Another Beauty with Stampin'Up! Nested Friends Stamps & Dies
April 27, 2023
Today we're Creating Another Beauty with Stampin'Up! Nested Friends Stamps & Dies. Tuesday our card centered around a gorgeous circle of sunshine....if you missed it check it out here Tuesday's Card.
Today's card is combining a recent technique we learned in which we create a designer paper in the color we need for a specific card.... here's today's card...
& a closer look...
The lovely designer paper was created using Coastal Cabana cardstock with an overlay of Basics Vellum...this gives us that leafy image behind the central focus as if we are actually in a tree. We simply glue dot the vellum to the cardstock & ...our own designer paper.
We built the nest just as we did Tuesday, except this time our focal image is that sweet bird. We stamped the image on Pool Party cardstock--allowing us to have color without "coloring." However we did use Dark Pool Party Blend on the outer feathers adding some interest to the bird.
The gold border is created with the Desert Details die---so sorry to see that die retire--it complements so many images...however, I'm sure we'll find some new dies to 'die' for! LOL
