HAND MADE THANK YOU CARD USING FLOWERS FOR MUM FROM CLOSE TO MY HEART AUSTRALIA - Atlantic Hearts Challenge #91

 
ATLANTIC HEARTS SKETCH CHALLENGE #91
I am so honoured and excited, I have been asked to be a Designer for the Atlantic Hearts Challenge Design Team

Photobucket

Today am highlighting how easy it is to do some two step stamping

 
I haven't done any two step stamping for a while and thought I would, test myself again and I found the Close To My Heart stamp set FLOWERS FOR MUM from our new Seasonal Expressions mini catalogue was the perfect stamp set to do it with.  In the picture below are the flowers used in the card.  The dark coloured and the white outlined shape of the flower.  The secret to affective two step stamping is using the full dark image stamp in a light colour, the using the white outlined stamp, using out acrylic blocks,  ink up in a darker colour and line it up over the top of the already stamped lighter colour.  The affect can be obtained by either inking with the similar colours one darker then the other.  Or by using Slate or Basic Black. The colours I have used are hollyhock and slate and of course our gorgeous new thick pink twine. If you would like to see more of these products, simply CLICK HERE
