Beautiful poppies by Stamps By Me

Hello everyone

Today I'm sharing a DT sample I made using one of my favourite new stamps from
Stamps By Me 
This is the very beautiful Follow Your Dreams. I love poppies and the design of this stamp is just gorgeous.
I also combined the sentiment from the new
Colour To The World stamp

I used these stamps in conjunction with a new style of card I've been playing with recently.  I love the look of continuing the stamped image onto the back of your card blank. I'll be posting a few more of this style I'm sure!! Lol

Also used :
Masking tape
Distress Inks : Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Fired Brick
Black onyx versafine
(Texture stencils and stamps from my stash )

• To begin this style of card,  lay the card blank open, and flat, on your workspace. Use the maskng tape to create your desired panel
• Blend the Distress inks within the masked panel, spritzing with water as and when desired 
• Using the same coloured inks, ink randomly through various texture stencils and stamp randomly using texture stamps 
• Stamp the poppies in Fired Brick Distress Ink, ensuring some overlap onto the back of the card blank. Use first and second generation stamping ie don't re-ink in between stamping. This creates a more muted stamped image, giving the impression of depth to your stamping
• Stamp the sentiment in black onyx versafine 
• Once ink is completely dry carefully removed tape to reveal your completed card 

I hope you enjoyed this post and liked this style of card.. I love it lol

Anyways,  many thanks for popping by

Colour To your World by Stamps By Me

Hello

I'm back with another sample. This time showcasing the new
Artistic Stitch Frame 2 die and
Colour To Your World stamp.
Both are from Stamps By Me 

Also used :
Versafine : Deep Lagoon and Olympia Green
Distress Inks : Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass
Distress Oxide: Peeled Paint

• Use the die to cut an aperture frame then using this as a guide, stamp the outline image, of the flowers, in the Versafine inks, so it will sit within your aperture. Ink up the solid stamp in the Distress inks and Oxide,  spritz with water and stamp over the outline. Dry off with heat gun
• Use temporary adhesive tape to hold frame in place and stamp the outline so it sits over the bottom left corner of your card blank and frame. 
• Again ink up and stamp the solid stamp over the outline.
• Stamp the sentiment in the Deep Lagoon onto the frame
• Splatter some paint drops over the two flowers 
• Remove temporary adhesive and adhere frame with foam pads to complete
