Hello and welcome to the last post of my Reverse Confetti September release inspiration series.
The tree stamp I used on todays card is actually a gift (free with purchase $60) from Reverse Confetti! It is a geometric stamp set that is super easy to stamp and fun to combine with what you already have.
Idea:
- I wanted to share an idea on how to use this fun stamp set together with an older one. I think the penguin and the bird are talking about what color scheme they will have on their tree this year ;-)
Instructions:
- stamp the stem on your white card panel (use paper that goes well with dye inks) with light brown ink using Peace Tree
- stamp the smallest triangle in light green using a stamping tool (like the MISTI)
- use a small sponge dauber to add a darker shade of green ink to the same small triangle, but just on the bottom half of it
- re-stamp the small triangle and you will get an ombré look on the top piece of your tree
- repeat the last three steps with the middle and the largest triangle, always creating an ombré look
- stamp, color and die cut/fussy cut the penguin and the bird using alcohol markers
- mask off the ground (unter the tree) with some ripped masking tape and do some very soft ink blending, just to create a difference between the sky and the snowy ground
- remove the masking tape and adhere the critters
- stamp the sentiment and add some sparkle to the tree using Stickles
Tips:
- using small sponge daubers to add ink to your solid stamps helps you get an ombré look which makes your solid stamps look more three dimensional
Thanks for stopping by!
Have a wonderful day,Nicole
