Good Morning stamping friends, I hope your weekend is going good. I finished my tomatoes yesterday and took what I didn't want to town to my recruit at her restaurant and to a coworker. I blanched and cut up a whole big bowl that I will finish up today after church so I am done with it. I am tired of the mess in my kitchen and am looking forward to getting the stuff put away. It is going to be a nice day today too it looks like. Today is the last day of the In Color Ribbon special. I hope you didn't miss out on that spectacular special.
I created this card for the Unscripted Sketch Challenge which is a layout challenge. I decided to use this Postage Due set again with the Fan Fair DSP . I just took my sponges and different ink pads and sponged color onto my stamp for a collage look. I colored my Bakers Twine again and it almost looks so orangey in my picture but it is Riding Hood Red ink. HMMM??? I stamped the image again and punched out a tire with the 1-1/4" Circle Punch and popped it up with a Dimensional for some texture. The greeting on the banner is from the Summer Solstice stamp set.
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Postage Due, Summer Solstice
Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Fan Fair DSP
Inks: Island Indigo, More Mustard, Riding Hood Red Ink Pad and Refill, Crumb Cake

Hello Friends. Have you ever seen a technique that you love and just keep seeing everywhere and dying to try it? Well this is it. Here is a card that I made and got the idea from Dawn Olchefske and if you go to her blog at www.dostamping.typepad.com you can see a video on how to do this Triple Time Stamping Technique that she created. She is so amazing. I love how my card turned out, don't you? I have seen several and they are all so pretty. I used Old Olive for the flourish from the Everything Eleanor set and the Daffodil Delight flower from the Summer Solstice set. The greeting is stamped in Basic Black from the Friendly Phrases stamp set. I didn't want to make a banner or a tag to take away from the design.
Here is how you make this card. Your first layer is cut from neutral card stock at 2" x 3-1/4" and the second piece down is cut at 3" x 4-1/4" and the last piece is your normal 4x5-1/4" layer. The mat is in a darker color of cardstock goes as the smallest 2-1/4" x 3-1/2", 2nd mat is 3-1/4" x 4-1/2, and the last is actually your card. You use a temporary adhesive like Dotto that is now discontinued and layer the neutral card stock together centering each piece in the center. Then you stamp the images however you want and then take the pieces apart and then layer onto the darker card stock. Then you lay them down again with the adhesive on them and line them up with the other images. Watch her video if you don't understand but it really is easy to do. I stamped the top and bottom corners in full strength ink and the other time I stamped off with the flourish stamp. I tied some Lucky Limeade Bakers Twine around and then attached a button to it and tied a bow. Don't you just think this card is stunning? I do. Can you believe I didn't use the Big Shot on this card? I know I can't either. LOL!
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Everything Eleanor, Summer Solstice, Friendly Phrases
Card Stock: Basic Black, Whisper White
Inks: Basic Black, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight
Tools: Bakers Twine, Neutrals Designer Buttons.
Make sure you let me know what you think of my card and thanks for stopping by. Have a honey of a day and bee happy. I have a 12 hour work day today. YIKES! Hugs, Bev
