Take Three: Summer Day 4

Thank you again for all your warm and happy comments!  I am thrilled that you are enjoying the sneak peaks.  It's always fun to come up with new designs and ways to use a stamp set.

Many Thanks

The first card up today uses a technique I learned many years ago.  The 3-d effect.  Every once in a while you will see it pop up on my blog.  To create this effect all you need is white ink along with a colour ink.  Always start with the white and stamp the colour over the top to create a pop.  So simple and yet so striking.

Step 1: Create a base and layers. Use scor-pal to create vertical and horizontal line groupings on top layer.
Step 2: Create a die cut and paper square. Create edges using scor-pal. Stamp bird image using 3-d effect outlined above.  Stamp sentiment and mini flower stamp.
Step 3: Attach ribbon.
Step 4: Adhere layers.

I am not sure about you, I am often grabbing the same types of cards to give to friends and family and suddenly my supply runs out.  I like creating a go to card.  One that won't take all day long to make and can be easily recreated.
I created three cards using three colours and three different images and sentiments from Take Three: Summer.  Hmmm there is a three theme going on here... While I added stickles to the images they look just as good without. 

Step 1: Create a base.  Stamp polka dot strip.
Step 2: Stamp image, punch, and create a square die cut.
Step 3: Stamp sentiment, adhere layers and apply stickles.
