Can you handle a couple of more Christmas cards? I know you're all probably ready to see the end of Christmas card posts, so don't shoot me...I'm bringing you my last Christmas card post...PROMISE. (But, I love making Christmas cards...I really do).
In my last few posts, I've been showing you two cards using one stamp and it's a way to get double the value for your stamps and helps cut down on time making cards. That's a win/win.
If you like the stamps I've used here and would like to purchase them or any others in the Technique Junkies Stamps store, please go ahead and use my personal code (TJ10CHERI) at checkout for a 10% reduction on your entire order of stamps and other products.
To get the image results shown here, using my MISTI, I stamped the church in bright dye color inks on a white card stock panel. Leaving the stamp in the same position on the MISTI, and without cleaning the stamp, I took a darker ink (Clair) and inked the stamp in various places along the edges and within the image itself. Then, without cleaning the stamp again, I inked the stamp one more time with the same bright color, but just in the center area, and stamped again. The results were stunning!!! The inks trick the eye into seeing depth and layers of texture.
The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark Ink, then heat embossed with white embossing powder.
Give this technique a try and have some creative fun. Don't forget, you have my coupon code if you'd like some new stamps and products for yourself.
