In addition, Caryn has a really cute new card to share with us today too. Let's take a peek.
"Hello,
it's Caryn here with a couple of cards I've made using the gorgeous
Toucan Party Clear Stamps and dies. This is such a cool set to play
with and is perfect for all kinds of occasions.
I
stamped all the images out using New Moon dye ink (I stamped extras of
the foliage images so I'd have enough for the two cards) and coloured
them all with Copics before die-cutting them.
I
used an orange card base and cut a mat using the Pierced Mats
Elle-ments. I layered my images using foam adhesive and finished by
adding a good coating of Diamond Glaze (my favourite new/old thing to
do!)
The
second card uses a technique to get even more from your dies - by
creating a stencil! I made a stencil (using the Chevron Mat Coverplate
die) from card but you could easily use acetate so you can re-use it
again and again. I taped the stencil down over a piece of green card
(die cut using the Double Pierced Rectangles Elle-ments) and then used a
spatula to spread the texture paste onto the card.
Once
this had dried I added my coloured images and finished it off with a
sentiment from the Banner Bits stamp set and die collection."
