THANK YOU CARD
I began by stamping some of the Fine Stems along the right hand and bottom edge of a piece of white cardstock using Distress Oxide Ink. I stamped the image and the restamped it using the leftover ink to get a second image that was slightly lighter. This is often referred to as Second Generation Stamping. The colors I used are: Dusty Concord, Peeled Paint, Bundled Sage and Weathered Wood.
Next I took 5 pieces of white cardstock and ink blended each piece with one of the Distress Oxide colors that I used for the stamping. I then used the Fine Stems die set to cut out several of the stems from the various pieces of inked paper.
For the sentiment strip, I stamped the Painted Palettes image onto white cardstock. I then applied a different color of ink to each pallette and stamped it, being careful to wipe off any excess ink. I repeated this for each color. I then took one of the sentiments from the set and stamped it in one of the blocks. To finish it off, I cut the strip and inked the edges with Scorched Timber Distress Oxide Ink.
Before I began adhering the die cuts and stamped image, I ink the edges of the background paper with Scorched Timber Distress Oxide Ink. I then layered this onto a piece of white cardstock.
To finish off the card, I adhered the die cuts and then layered the sentiment strip using some double sided foam adhesive for some dimension.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed seeing how this Thank You Card came together using the Fine Stems and Painterly Palette Stamps and Dies 49 & Market for Sizzix.
