Hey there Junkies!!!
I'm here with a really fun technique for you to try. I don't know if it's been done before, however, it "just happened" at my craft table as I was stamping today and I loved the results.
I started with a piece of Valentine designer paper from a 6x6 "American Crafts" pad I bought for $2.50 at AC Moore (I think). It's hard for me to pass up a deal on paper.
Anyway, I put the paper in my MISTI and using this new background stamp from Technique Junkies January Release, called "Love Overlay", I first stamped it with a dye ink called "Raspberry Jam" by Hero Arts. Without moving my stamp, I cleaned it and then moved the paper over to the left about 1/8". This time I stamped with Memento Black Tuxedo ink. Once more, I cleaned the stamp, after making sure the ink was dry, I then brushed anti static powder over the paper, moved the paper over another 1/8". This time I used VersaMark ink and after stamping with it, I sprinkled Ranger Queens Gold ep over the paper and heat embossed it. Next I used a stitched frame die to cut out the image and then sponged Distress Inks, Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar on the panel.
I adhered it to a card layer of "Eggplant" cs (by GKD). I absolutely loved how that bg stamp showed itself off with this technique. It looks so dimensional but it's only one layer!
To finish the card, I die cut the word "Love" several time in the "eggplant" cs (A Savvy Stamp Die) and in gold paper. I layered them one on top of the other and layered that against a banner die from MFT, also cut in "eggplant" cs.
I hope you grab yourself some crafting time today....it's fun there!

Very clever, Cheri! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe effect is amazing. It does look like a cut out with shadows behind. Very, very cool.
ReplyDeleteWow! I had to reread to believe that was only one layer. I will definitely be trying something like this. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful dimension.

That dimension is really effective. I couldn't figure out what you were talking about until you said it is a one layer card because you had me convinced the gold was something 3-D you put on the top. You rock!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, ladies. I know what Beth means....I couldn't stop looking at it after I'd done all the stamping. It was one of those "wow" moments. I hope you get a chance to try this...it's really fun to see what develops. Show case what you do on the TJ Facebook page....I'd love to see what everyone else does with this.
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome!!! SO dimensional!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous, what a great way to add dimension! Thanks Cheri, I will be trying this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great faux 3D effect that the 1/8 inch shift gives! I'm thinking of so many ways I can experiment with this. Thanks for sharing this technique.
