" The multicoloured stamping technique!
This old school, much loved technique is simple but oh so effective! Just colour your stamp with more than one shade before stamping with it, and the resulting image will be a multicoloured delight! Use ink pads, markers or even paint to colour the stamp, and then simply stamp away!"
Well it just so happens that this is one of my favourite techniques and they're right, it's so easy and the results can be magical! I am planning to make quite a lot of Christmas cards with this technique.
The Christmas Tree Stamp is from Merory Box and I am totally smitten with it! I used Distress Marker (Pine Needles, Faded Jeans, Dusty Concord and, Tea Dye and Vintage Photo) and stamped on Fabriano watercolour paper. The sentiment was made with a die from WPLUS9. I matted it with dark blue card and mounted on Kraft. My new find is the Heidi Swapp white color shine spray - I can't stop myself spraying everything!!! I mixed the white spray and some dusty concord ink and splattered it on the card. The challenge at the Simon Wednesday Challenge is to use Kraft cardstock, so this card should fit the bill. Simon Monday Challenge is Anything Goes so I shall also enter their challenge. ETA: I'm entering this card in the Moxie Fab World Tree-mendous Trees challenge. |
This is absolutely gorgeous! Love the soft tones on the trees that you have achieved with the multi coloured stamping and that Memory Box stamp looks beautiful :)
