Today’s card is my second sneak peek of the new online exclusive, background stamp, Among The Swallows. This time, I used the “ink to stamp” technique. You need the retired Stamparatus, or Misti Tool for this technique, because you have to stamp multiple times, in the exact same position. I secured Basic White Cardstock to the base of the Stamparatus with magnets, and adhered the self-stick, Among The Swallows Stamp, to the lid. Then, I colored the stamp with Stampin’ Write Markers in five colors: Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue, Garden Green, Mossy Meadow, and Granny Apple Green. This was done with the side of the brush, and the lid was lowered to the white cardstock many times to complete the images.
After coloring, I trimmed the paper to size, 4″ X 5 1/4″, and found the sentiment in the Something Fancy Stamp Set. I stamped “thank you” in Garden Green, and used a Peaceful Season Die for cutting. This was threaded with Natural Tones Linen Thread, and taped to the back of my colored paper. Then, I glued it to a Balmy Blue card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The last detail was adding Iridescent Discs, for a little shine.
You’ll be able to order this stamp, along with many other Onlines Exclusives, November 5. The number is 164561.
