Multi-Stamping!

Hey Crafty Peeps! I had some fun playing with a few of the newer Technique Junkies sets recently: Sudsy Stuff, Under The Sea and Life Is Beautiful.  I also used a couple newer products: Nuvo Glitter Markers and Chameleon Colortone Pencils. With the help of my trusty MISTI, I ended up with a fun and shiny card!

I started out by securing my cardstock with magnets in my Misti. I stamped Sudsy Stuff in a light blue ink. I then aligned the Under The Sea stamp and stamped it in a light grey. Without moving the stamp or the cardstock, I colored in the turtle with a green glitter marker and stamped onto the CS. I followed that same procedure with different colors of glitter marker onto different sections.

After all the shiny part was stamped, I used the Chameleon pencils and colored in the different elements. I mounted the CS onto a black panel, and added that to a grey card base. The Life Is Beautiful sentiment was stamped onto a piece of grey CS and foam mounted to the card.

Using the MISTI for perfect alignment opens up a lot of opportunity for different techniques. I hope you are inspired to give it a try for yourself.

Now with all that info out of the way, on to the projects!!!

First up is a beautiful background card using embossing powder. The image was stamped and embossed, a little distress ink was applied using a sponge dauber.  Then a vellum panel was added which was also embossed. They were both layered onto an orange mat and mounted on a card base.

Stamps Used:  Sudsy Stuff (S747), Wild Sea Air (SD698)

Next up is a CD Calendar page. The background was hand-colored using colored pencils. The calendar was computer-generated. The image and sentiment were stamped with Tuxedo Black ink (I used the Misti so I could restamp the image several times to get a clean impression). Not only does this stamp set include the images below, but also three more sentiments: "Live, Laugh, Golf"; "I found a wood that can lower your score. It's called a pencil."; and, "Born to Golf, Forced to Work".

 Stamps Used:  Let's Play A Round, Set of 5 (SS076)

Last up is a very sparkly card! This card was done with embossing and glitter on a card panel that was stamped and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers, and a sentiment on vellum was added.

Stamps Used:  Under the Sea (S751), Advice from a Sea Turtle (SD771b)
