Forever Lovely Layered Stamping

#1 Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Pootles – Forever Lovely Layered Stamping

Happy Saturday everyone!

My card today is all about layering stamps to create a background for a sentiment.

I adore our DistINKtive stamps and the extreme detail on them, but I love that you can layer darker colours over the paler ones and have that create the sentiment panel.

This is a 2 step stamp, so I laid down the blue of the flowers first – confession time – I clearly didn’t clean my stamps properly last time I used them, because although that’s Seaside Spray, there’s a hint of purple peeping through. oops…

But colour aside, I laid down the blue, then came in with the second stamp and used Soft Sea Foam for some pale leaves around it.

I love that kind of effect!

With the sentiment at the bottom, I stamped the flowers twice and then used Blueberry Bushel over the top.

It felt that it needed a little more, so I used a scattering of pearls around the top flowers and I think that works well!

Have you tried this technique before?
