Today is the first day of a brand-new month, which means it is time for a brand-new challenge over at The Technique Twist. This time we are Double Stamping. Now I have only ever heard of this technique referred to as masking, but now I've learned a new name for it! Here is my card:
Wintery card featuring the Double Stamping technique using the Best of Snow and Festive Flurry stamp sets. |
Here is a quick how-to for this card:
- starting with a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock, I stamped the Let It Snow label using Bermuda Bay ink.
- I punched a bracket label (the same shape as the stamped image) out of a post-it note and stuck it over the stamped label to mask it.
- I stamped the larger snowflake in Pool Party ink randomly over the card stock.
- I stamped the smaller snowflake in Coastal Cabana randomly all over the card stock
- I stamped the larger snowflake again using Versamark ink and then heat embossed with Irridescent Ice embossing powder.
- At this point I remove the post-it note mask.
- I sponged along the edges of the stamped card stock using Pool Party ink.
- I layered the stamped card stock on a piece of 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" Bermuda Bay card stock and then adhered the whole thing to a Smokey Slate card base.
- I die cut a snowflake frame from Silver Glimmer Paper using the Festive Flurry framelits and adhered it over the label using Dimensionals.
- I added a little red bow made from 1/8" Taffeta ribbon in Real Red.
- I added a little extra bling with some strategically-placed rhinestones.
