Fly away with ME

Posted on April 12, 2018 in Cards, Die Cutting, Imagine, Joy Clair Designs, Recent Works, Techniques, Tutorials

Hi there! Today I have a Clear & Simple card that I made using the stamp set Fly with Me from Joy Clair Stamps. This is one of the most beautiful stamp sets, and I’m ready to show you another way to use it.

The base of my card is Very Vanilla card stock and I cut a second layer using the same color of card stock. Over the card base I stamped, on the center, one of the sentiments included on the stamp set Fly with Me, using VersaFine Clair Pinecone and clear embossing powder.

Then I cut with a circle die, the center of the second layer, exactly in the same position of the card base stamped image to create a window on it.

I temporarily placed the second layer over the card base and I stamped the complement of the main sentiment. This is also included on the stamp set Fly with Me, and I used the same ink and embossing process, VersaFine Clair Pinecone and clear embossing powder.

Before permanently pasting the second layer I stamped around of the window circle the two birds included on the stamp set Fly with Me using other tones of VersaFine Clair. I used Warm Breeze, Cheerful and Verdant.

I pasted the second layer to the card base using double sided foam tape or Foam adhesives strips, to give a different heights to this layer. As final touch I added some drops of Nuvo Crystal Drops. I used Glossy White, Dandelion Yellow, Caribbean Ocean and Crushed Grape.

With this idea you have more inspiration to stretch your stamps and personalize only with colors! Easy and quick!
