August is Back to School Month so I thought I would begin my blog with learning. I love to learn new techniques, tips, and ideas. How about you? My first technique happens to be my favorite so far. I just love to random stamp. I will show you by making a 5x7 card using the Something Splendid stamp set.
1.First take the largest stamp and random stamp your area in a triangle pattern.
2.Second use the next to largest stamp and stamp in a pattern. Here I used a technique called second generation stamping. It is simple, just stamp your inked stamp on a scratch piece of paper then your area you are working.
3.Third use the next smaller sized stamp and stamp your area. I again used the second generation technique here.
4. I used the smallest sized stamp and stamped using the second generation technique as well.
The second generation technique gives a lighter hue of the ink used. I used the four colors that go with the paper pack Splendor.
5. Adhere the paper to its position and embellish.
6. To embellish this card I stamped the big flower, cut it out, and sponged with a darker blue around the edges. I then added the center of the flower.
You could also pop the flower or add ribbon or brads just as easy.
