Wetlands beauty,  Stampin' Up

Rachael · April 9, 2016 · Leave a Comment

Hey there Stampin friends! It’s a soggy Saturday here in the Mid Atlantic, perfect card making weather 🙂 !
I thought these cards were some great examples for those who struggle with a more masculine style card. The sentiments could also be switched around for a birthday card, retirement card, sympathy or even a newly divorced person who may need a friend. Again,  that is why I really like to wait when possible to add a sentiment that way I always have a card ready and I can just pop in a greeting in Archival Black ink or even just hand write a note inside which I do VERY often.
I hope these inspire you with a few fresh ideas!
All bases are 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
Second layer of 5 3/8 ” by 4 1/8″
Whisper White or Very Vanilla layer with the main images at 5 2/8″ by 4 ”
I also used the 1″ circle punch and a post it to mask out the “sun”, and White Gel Pen to make the “water” effect around the bird feet, and to make a little ‘water puddle’ if you will.
What I did was, basically either sponged or used the daubers to add in the color in layers to my liking. Some turned out nicer than others, but really these photos do these cards no justice. On the final card it photographed kind of wacky looking and the color combo quite frankly, is a little odd. But, in person this card is beautiful and so unique. Maybe I’ll try to get another view and add it in later. My point is try your best take a step back and see it from a fresh point of view. Try a new color combo or technique, you never know it may become your new favorite thing! ☺️
