Bokeh Dots with the "Stamparatus Multicolour stamping technique"


Hello and welcome back. Yesterday I posted about the bokeh dots montone colour card which I love, but today I have a few Multicoloured versions.

You need the Stamparatus for this technique, and it's oh so easy.
  • position your stamp on the stamparatus plate and ink up with a base colour,  for these cards I started with So Saffron
  • stamp the image, making sure your magnets are going to keep your card from moving as you will be stamping repeatedly in the same position.
  • no need to clean off the saffron ink
  • using a sponge dauber apply a second colour of ink to one end of the stamp, I used fresh fig for the first version of this
  • stamp and review your panel, you may want to add more colour to increase the depth so the colour transitions are graduated. 
  • you can continue adding as much colour as you like until you are happy with the depth
  • using a third colour (Old Olive) and the same technique apply ink with a clean sponge dauber to the opposite end.



I then stamped the Dandelions over the top with Blackberry Bliss and splattered them with some Gold Wink of Stella and layered them up in some Easel Cards. I kept the sentiments quite minimal.

Your colour combinations are endless, I also used
  • So Saffron, Night of Navy, Blackberry Bliss and Bermuda Bay - which over the saffron turned a gorgeous rich green 
  • So Saffron, Fresh Fig, Blackberry Bliss, Grapefruit Grove





I do hope you'll give this technique a try, it's so much fun.

I  hope you have a creative week and remember,
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car
