To begin my card today I first started out with my background. I used a Dotted Embossing Folder from We R Memory Keepers and ran it through my big shot machine with a white piece of cardstock. I set it off to the side and started stamping. I pulled out a ton of Altenew Layering Inks for all my layers today, since they're in sets already for me and stamped them out. My biggest tip is to use an eraser on each layer of stamp to get a really nice clean impression. I find that this just preps the stamp a bit and gives a smoother coverage. Second tip is to stamp the main fruit first, so for the strawberries, stamp all but the leaves, same for the cherries and blackberries. Then, use the coordinating dies to cut them out and then proceed to stamp the leaves/stems. This ensures you get perfect alignment of them.
(Inks Used: Rouge, Crimson, Velvet - Cherries / Cotton Candy, Coral Berry, Ruby Red, Jet Black - Strawberries / Arctic, Caribbean Sky, Persian Blue - Blueberries / Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields, Deep Iris, Midnight Violet - Blackberries / Bamboo, Olive - Leaves/Stems)
Once they were all stamped and die cut I added foam tape to the backs of them and adhered them onto my embossed background. I just fitted them in where I could and once I was happy with how they looked, I moved onto my sentiment. I white heat embossed the 'Hi Sweetie' sentiment from the set onto a black strip of cardstock. I popped that up on foam tape too and my card was complete.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you love this set as much as I do and are inspired and I'll catch you next time!
