Elements of Style

Hi

Today thought I would challenge myself by using the same stamp but get 2 different results.



This card I used Perfect Plum ink on the same colour card. This gives the image a couple of shades darker than the card stock. I then added a piece of DSP(retired) and Pretty in Pink on top of the Elegant Eggplant base card. Punches used are 1 3/4" scallop circle and 1 3/8" circle. Sentiment also from Elements of Style Stamp set.



This card uses the same stamp set but used the Stampin' Write Markers - Raspberry Ripple and Gumball Green - to ink the image before stamping on Whisper White card. Don't forget when using the markers to ink your stamps, before actually stamping, breathe heavily on the inked areas so it will stamp perfectly. This is particularly important on larger stamps when it takes a while to add the ink and the parts first inked may have started to dry. This moistens the ink again. Also had to add some of the Raspberry Ripple ribbon I received from "spool time" promo. The Itty Bitty Banners stamp set and Framelits are used for the "congratulations". The scallop border and corner punches were used on the Raspberry Ripple card on 2 sides. I added Dazzling Details Silver Sparkle in the middle of some of the flowers. Base card is Gumball Green. Love these colours together!!
I was delighted with the 2 different look these two cards have using the same stamp from Elements of Style. Hope you do too.

Thanks for visiting today, call again soon.
