#stampinup #faithfulinkspirations When I first started stamping, Stampin’ Up offered lots and lots of two-step stamp sets. These sets have an outline stamp and a filler stamp. I like using them because, as I may have mentioned, I don’t like to color. I’m glad Stampin’ Up has continued to offer two- and sometimes three-step stamps. They’re great for beginner stampers–and great for those of us who have been stamping since the dawn of time.
The “Lots of Lavender” set is one you can earn for FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. (Ask me how!) It’s a beautiful line art (outline) stamp on its own, but when you use the filler pieces you create a wonderful work of art.
I started by stamping the lavender outline stamp in Basic Gray Archival Ink onto a 2-1/4″ by 4″ piece of Whisper White Card Stock. I filled in the lavender with Fresh Fig Ink, stamped off once. The leaves and stems are filled in with Pear Pizzazz Ink and the bow is Powder Pink. Easy-peasy and so pretty! I adhered this to a 2-3/8″ by 4-1/8″ Basic Black Card Stock mat.
Next, I embossed a 3-3/4″ by 5″ Whisper White panel with the Layered Leaves Textured Embossing Folder and adhered it to a 3-7/8″ by 5-1/8″ Basic Black mat. I tied on a length of Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon before adhering this to a Crumb Cake Card Stock card base.
To finish the card, I stamped “happy birthday” from the “Teeny Tiny Wishes” stamp set in Basic Black Archival Ink onto a Whisper White scrap. I cut this out with the small oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I adhered the lavender element and the sentiment to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Come back tomorrow for another version of this card–using the same focal element. It’s super gorgeous, too (if I do say so myself–and I do!)
