I have used the "Beautiful Strength" stamp many times in earlier projects, but when the "Patience Tested" sentiment was released, I immediately thought of how the two stamps would look together.
I found scraps of the most colorful inked and sprayed backgrounds I could find. In fact, I didn't have to create any new backgrounds at all... I simply rummaged through my scraps to find the most colorful pieces I had. Then, I stamped "Beautiful Strength" several times on the scraps and also on plain white cardstock.
I rummaged through my most colorful scraps...
Then, I used detail scissors to cut out individual pieces in a variety of colors. I played around with the individual pieces, fitting them like puzzle pieces onto the base stamped image. You can see in the photo above, I am working on the pieces on the woman's arm.
When my pieces were ready, I first colored in the woman with a Spectrum Noir 3-part blending marker. Then, I glued all the individually cut paper pieces down using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.
To finish off the card, I stamped the sentiment below the woman and rubbed some glitter here and there (fun fact - I do this to get sticky glue off my fingers)! For a final touch, I added a metal embellishment onto her head scarf and mounted everything on an inked background I had in my scrap pile.
I love this encouraging sentiment from the Lighthouse Sentiments set from Technique Junkies. It's perfect with the new Lighthouse on Cliff stamp. I stamped both with Nocturne Versafine Clair ink and let them dry completely. Then I brushed on some blue ink, taking care to keep the darker areas of ink on the edges of the card. The Colorful Blending Brushes from Technique Junkies are perfect for brushing ink onto the edges of your card like this or applying ink through a stencil.
