My first card from this week’s Stamp Review Crew blog hop is my salute to spring, even though the colors look a bit autumnal IRL. I used the Cane Weave background to give the feel of a garden trellis.
As I mentioned in my hop post, the technique to get the multi-colored petals is an old one — worth revisiting! You’ll need a fairly solid image for this, then lightly load a Sponge Dauber with ink (I started with Crushed Curry) and dab it directly on the stamp. Repeat with the darker color (Sweet Sorbet). Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink (as if you’re cleaning your glasses), then stamp it on the cardstock. So, the coloring occurs before stamping. The result is unpredictable but worth trying!
The centers of these daisies are separate stamps. I love Pecan Pie and am finally able to release my grip on all my Soft Suede items!
