Hello friends!
I am excited to share 10 simple tried and true techniques with you.
I am using the latest release
"Just Jasmine" Stamp as examples.
This gorgeous stamp set comes with delicate solid and outline images and is ideal to try all sorts of techniques. I will highlight the techniques in
bold for your easy reference.
*Currently, there is a shortage of dies*
You can still get the Just Jasmine Stamp AND coordinating mask
With the coordinating masks, I stamped the jasmine flowers in
"Miss You" card (
Cotton Candy, Coral Berry and
Chamomile).
Masking is simple and effective as it helps to add interest and depth.
TIP: Find the spot for your focal point and stamp the main image first. Use the mask and stamp more images around it. Do pay attention to the composition, balance and white space.
The
Color-Layering was easy to do thanks to the design of stamps and the great property of the Altenew Inks. The stems were colored with Artist Marker (Bamboo and Volcano Lake). I applied the
Vellum Transparent Paper (die cut with
Rounded Rectangles) and added the
Stacked Dies with Washi Tape
I first applied the Altenew Washi Tape (
Tea Party and
Sea Shore) over a piece of card stock. I took out the
Miss You Word Die and ran it through Mini Blossom. To complete the card, I added new Satin White Sequins and splatter.
My next card utilizes the technique of
Stenciling with Watercolors. I started with applying
Artist Watercolor 24 Pan Set over the
Feathered Leaves Stencil.
Thanks to the textures of
Altenew Watercolor Paper Set (A2), I was able to apply watercolors without flooding the unwanted area.
Watercoloring and
Stenciling are great techniques to try with this stamp set.
TIP: Spraying a light spritz of water over the stencil on paper. The tiny water droplets on paper will keep the intended area moist and allow you to add colors at ease.
I kept the focal point simple and stamped the Jasmine flowers in
Ultramarine, Eastern Sky and Cloudy Night. I die cut the main image onto the watercolor paper and adhered the stamped image back into its place.
Inlaid-die cutting is such a cool technique!
By
Stamping the images in the background, I created a visually-appealing composition.
TIP: How to add a pop of colors into your design? Stamp a plain background in
Jet Black and highlight your focal point with colors. You can add dimensions by stamping, coloring, die-cutting and fussy-cutting.
Enchanted Gold, Pumpkin and Marigold prove to be a great color combo for the Jasmine flowers. I cut out each layer and adhered them to one of the branches.
Fussy-cutting is definitely worth the effort.
Have you tried using Washi Tape to add interest?
Torn Washi Taping (
Dotted Washi Tape ) is such a great trick when you need that extra something. The sentiment from
Fancy Greetings was stamped in
Enchanted Gold Pigment Ink
I hope that you feel inspired to try out some of the techniques and get a good overview of the
"Just Jasmine" Stamp Set.
For more fun and inspiration, I am adding an extra card (top left corner) that I created for the release blog hop. I used
Clear-Bossing and
Ink-Blending techniques to create the bright blue and white contrast.
