Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina and
today we are talking about lots of layering! First up I am creating gorgeous
flowers with the layering stamp and die set Everything’s Rosy! The detail in these stamps is just amazing and you
end up with such great realistic roses.
As always with layering stamps I
used a trick I learned from Jennifer McGuire using the dies and a stamping tool.
You start by die cutting the basic shapes, in this case the two roses and the
clustered leaves. I cut each shape several times. You put the negative pieces
of cardstock inside the stamping tool, so you can just pop in the basic shapes.
Next, I removed all the stamps from
the plastic sheet they come on. You place the first drawing (the 1a image) onto
the cut basic shape for perfect placement. I secure the plastic in place with some low tack tape. Next, I place the
coordinating stamp onto the drawing and line it up with the lines of the image.
Then you just pick up the stamp with the door of your stamping tool and remove
the plastic, you’ll get perfect stamping each time! Repeat the same process for
each layer. I always stamp more images than I need, giving myself some room to
play with the design.
I created a white A2 card base and
covered it with a pretty teal paper from the Sweater Weather paper pad. This ties in nicely with the teal inks I used on the
leaves. I cut a white panel with the Frilly Frames Stripes Die and layered it on top of the teal one. Next, I added a white circle using
the largest of the Scalloped Circle Mats 3.
Now it was time to lay down my
roses and leaves, so I could see how much room I had left for a sentiment. I
fiddled a bit with the placement and once I was happy, I could adhere the
arrangement with liquid glue and dimensional foam tapes. As a little bonus, I
added some white and teal leaves cut with the Spring Greenery dies.
I stamped the beautiful scripty
‘Thank You’ from the Big Bold Greetings in Versafine Onyx Black ink and cut it with the matching die. A few Chrystal Clear Jewels were scattered around the sentiment.
I hope you will create beautiful
bouquets with these gorgeous, layered roses! Thank you for joining
me and happy crafting!
