Welcome to Pinkfresh Studio’s September Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop. If you came from the amazing Laura Bassen’s blog, you are right on track!
For my first card, I started by drawing 4 lines along the edges of my card front using a pencil and ruler. Then I stamped the sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio’s Yes God Stamp Set with Hero Arts Black Ink on the bottom.
Next, I stamped the various images from Pinkfresh Studio’s Playful Animal Friends 1 Stamp Set with following Altenew Crisp Dye Inks: Fresh Lemon, Maple Yellow, Bamboo, Parrot, Volcano Lake, Lagoon, Rouge and Moon Rock.
FYI, I did some stamp surgery by cutting stamps with scissors to fill in the gaps with small images. I added some dots using Copic Marker W5 Warm Gray. After I erased pencil lines with an eraser, I mounted my stamped panel on the A2 sized top folding card base with Altenew glue tape.
I followed the same process for my second card. This time I used the Pinkfresh Studio’s Playful Animal Friends 2 Stamp Set with following Altenew Crisp Dye Inks: Honey Drizzle, Caramel Toffee, Orange Cream, Autumn Blaze, Firebrick, Espresso and Moon Rock.
When you create your own stamped background, I recommend stamping the large images first and filling in the gaps with small images later.
One layer + stamped background with small images + small dots = my favorite cardmaking formula at the moment! Which card do you like better? Hope my cards inspired you to create your own background using small stamps.
