Deconstructing a Stamp and a Die

Hello friends! 

I have a fun post to share. You know how I like to add my own twist to stamps and dies.

I am using Penny Black's stamp and die as my example (all inks are listed at the end of this post).

Penny Black - Creative Dies - Floral Arrangement
from Scrapbook.com

I stamped the images in 3 parts and stamped in a different angle each time.
Starting from the bottom, I stamped the largest bloom first.


I love adding multiple colors and this was made possible with a stamp positioner, such as MISTI.

 

Ding-->when stamping multiple images, always start with the main/largest image first!

That way, you are able compose and design more aesthetically. 

Once I stamped the largest flowers, I stamped the top part. I then worked around the border one little bit at a time. The die and stamp are of the same design and yet, they are not in matching size!

In order to add embellishment with the die, I chose vellum. I find that by using vellum, the beautiful stamped flowers can still come through.

 I took great pride in this card and couldn't stop taking photos of it.
