Hi everyone! I just finished taking All About Layering 1 and wanted to share my finished projects. This is a great class teaching how to use all your different layering stamps and the different things you can do with them.
The simplicity of this first card made it come together quickly. I wish I would have stamped the larger leaf cluster with a darker green and a bit off set but I can always do that next time.
I used a medium grey for my base card and popped up the three flowers and two ferns. I then went in with a smaller stamp and stamped some extra leaves around the images. After stamping the sentiment I finished off the card with some sequins. I love how they add just a little sparkle to the design.
A close up of the dimension. I really like how this looks. I always feel like I need big images on my cards. Now I know I can so have smaller ones and have a beautiful card.
I must admit this card gave me a bit of trouble. I was able to stamp and layer the larger flower but the smaller one just didn't want to work for me. It took me a few try's before I finally got this card. I triple layered the white behind the black happy and adhered it to my card. I added a few sequins to give a bit more flair.
This stamp set is one of my new favorites. Spring Daisy has such beautiful blooms and the script on the two sentiments is so pretty. I stamped two of the flowers in the lighter blue and one in the darker. For the smaller closed blooms I used a water color brush and ink pad to color in since they don't have a second image.
I have to say out of all the cards I made this one is my favorite. I used jet black and stamped off four different times to get the greyish looking flower. I will definitely be doing this technique again
I've never been one for masking. I always thought it was to much work. During this class we did masking on a couple of the cards and this was one of them. I love how it turned out. I always thought the detail image was supposed to be in black but now I tried it using the darkest color in the color family and it turned out great. That left the black open for using on the sentiment.
My final card is using a newer stamp set called Watercolor Blooms. It took me two tries to get the arrangement the way I wanted. The first sample I did I ended up with two even rows lol. Not what I was going for. This one turned out way better. I stamped the image in embossing ink and used the gold embossing power to make it pop. I added some gold sequins to finish it up
Thanks for taking the time to look at my projects. I hope you'll come back again to see what I create in the next level of All About Layering 2!!
Looks like you had a lot of fun creating cards for this class!! Though we do have a limit set of three cards per class but what the hey?! You are having fun and who am I to stop you! :D
