July 13, 2023
Today I'll show you An Unexpected Way to Use Stampin'Up!'s Ocean Front Stamp Set. Tuesday we created a lovely card with this set using telescoping frames...if you missed it check it out here Click here to see Tuesday's card .
We usually try to use the same set for both posts in a single week. So I also want so show you the versatility of this set...so this card may surprise you!
& closer...
By now I'm sure you've figured out that we are using the "sky" stamp as our background to the silhouette floral image. I enjoy using silhouette images and layering them on a beautifully colored background. As you have experienced creating these colored backgrounds can take a bit of time and each one will appear somewhat different that the others.
By using the watercolor brushstroke stamps--you can achieve a stunning color wash and you can get the same image over and over again with minimal effort. We know that using the blending brushes creates some spectacular images & we also know that we often don't have time to be that creative...so this provides you an instant watercolor wash background ready to go. Simply select your silhouette image , add a greeting and embellishments --you'll look like a pro!
The background color for this card is one of the new colors in this year's pallette--Lemon Lolly. It definitely filled a hole in our range of yellows---and it's soft sweet hue is quite stunning. When contrasted with black inked designs---it is very charming.
You may be wondering about the black contrasted edge of the focal point---we cut another die cut in black, cut it vertically down the middle & adhered it to the back of the white die cut so it just peeps out both sides.
I'll give you step by step directions for today's card below followed by the supply list.
