Splendid Thoughts: Layering & Stamping Techniques

by
Spread the love!

What really attracted me to this Suite was its versatility. You can stamp, layer with die-cuts, or combine the SPLENDID DAY suite of products to create beautiful cards.

Here I will demonstrate how you can stamp and then use the dies to create a background by layering.

One of the features of the stamp set is that the FILL STAMP does not align perfectly with the image. This was frustrating for one of my clients. I demonstrated a technique using the FILL STAMP and several ink colors to create a lovely tonal effect.

The FILL STAMP (YELLOW HIGHLIGHT) does not match the stamp image.

To create the perfect background, I started out using the ORNATE LAYERS DIES (retired) and applied the details DIE CUTS from the SPLENDID STEMS DIES to create a layered/monochromatic background. I also created a version using the LAYERING CONTOURS Dies to show off the versatility between an ornate and simplistic approach. The Layering Contours Dies are available in the Annual Catalog (click BUTTON for complete product inventory for this project).
