Published by zindorf at 7:49 am under Tutorials

Hello out there!  Hope everyone is having a fabulous holiday weekend.  I took the day off yesterday and spent some quality time with family.  Today I am going to spend the whole day stamping.  Woohoo!  This project I can share with you, but the rest of my stamping today will be projects that will only be unveiled in my advanced brayer workshops.   Actually, I will be spending the week putting them together.  I always want my workshop projects to be over the top.  :)

A little about today’s tutorial, I added some white gel pen and some over stamping to create depth in this piece.  What do you think?  Did it work?

I have decided to give this card away as blog candy tomorrow.   So leave a comment telling me to enter you and I will use a random number generator to select the winner.  If you are receiving this blog update via e-mail, please click this link and then leave a comment:

Stamped the Upsy Daisy Silhouette stamp on a 3″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White Card stock by first loading the stamp with Versamark and then Old Olive ink before stamping it.

dsc09172.JPG

Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

dsc09173.JPG

Brayered Apricot Appeal ink at the top of the card stock.

dsc09174.JPG

Used a 1 3/8″ circle punch and punched a mask out of the sticky part of a Post It Note.  Put the mask on my card stock.  Brayered Pumpkin Pie ink at the top of the card stock, not covering the Apricot Appeal ink entirely.

dsc09175.JPG

Brayred Ruby Red ink at the very top of the card stock, not covering the Pumpkin Pie ink entirely.

dsc09176.JPG

Removed the mask and Over stamped the Daisies with Basic Black ink.

dsc09177.JPG

I know not to do this from past experience, but I always end up doing it anyway.

I wiped my black ink off of my embossed images using a circular motion with an old towel, smearing the ink.

What I should have done was pat it off of the emboss images.  Oh well, I will get it right one of these days, lol.

dsc09178.JPG

Over stamped the embossed images with Old Olive ink, stamping off once on my scrap paper.  (Second Generation stamping)

dsc09180.JPG

Patted the Old Olive ink off of my embossed images with a cotton towel.  :)

dsc09181.JPG

Used a White Gel Pen to added petals to the embossed Silhouette.  Used a heat gun to set the white gel pen into the embossing.

Brayered Ruby Red ink at the top of a Pumpkin Pie Panel.

dsc09184.JPG

Sponged Old Olive ink on a 1″ strip of Old Olive card stock.

dsc09185.JPG

Assembled card front and added a sentiment with Black ink on the bottom of the card front.

dsc09186.JPG

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

I hope this tutorial has inspired you to use over stamping in your project today to create depth in your scene.

Have a safe and happy holiday.

Until my next post. . . . . . . . . . . . .  . .

Hugs,

Michelle

  43. rachelon 25 May 2009 at 11:03 am

    Orange is my second favorite color. This was a beautiful use of orange, usually my orange themed things look like they belong in a circus - will you ever print a book of these? P.S. I promise to frame it :)

  57. Carole RBon 25 May 2009 at 11:49 am

    Hi Michelle

    Lately I’ve seen a tutorial using this same stamp. The sky was sponged instead of brayered. The card was very nice. But the fact that you used the white gel pen pen gives it more depth that’s right and it’s more beautiful. You surely have done it in a better way.

    Please count me in!

    Have a nice day!

  58. Carole RBon 25 May 2009 at 12:00 pm

I’ve been stamping since 1998 and I still don’t feel very creative. I think some are just born with it in there blood and then there are those like me that just keep on trying. Thanks for sharing.

  157. Karen A.on 26 May 2009 at 8:36 am

    Hi, Absolutely stunning! Your cards are masterpieces. I’ve been dropping in to look at your creations for a while now and have decided to dust off my brayer and try to achieve a similar look, although I don’t have an ‘eye’ for putting colour together as you do. Will do my best and really wish I lived in the USA so I could attend one of your workshops. Maybe you’ll come over to England one day? I’d be blown away if I were to win one of your delightful cards (if non-USA crafters are eligible). Good Luck to everybody. Karen x

  158. Chris Kon 26 May 2009 at 8:45 am

  164. Bonnie Krameron 26 May 2009 at 9:57 am

    I love this and tried it myself last night. My only problem was that the gel pen didn’t want to work on the embossed image. Is there a way around that?

    I might be too late, but WOW - What a great card/tutorial. I would love to win, but I will try to make one myself!
