You Rock Week - Day 1

Hello friends, 

Katie here with a tip to share with you featuring the You Rock stamp set. The You Rock set has such a fun, retro feel. You can expand the fun by using the elements in You Rock to set and share the scene with other stamp sets. 

My first card features the milkshake image. The milkshake is sweet on its own, but the sweetness gets amped up when the kitty from the Peek-a-Boo Pets stamp set is enjoying the treat. The dotted banner from the Easy Layers die frames the scene perfectly. 

My second card uses the awesome jukebox paired with the Oh Snap set for a little Crocodile Rock. The Ray die background draws the eye to the party. 

When combining stamp sets, think about the following: 

Scale- Will the size and scale of the two sets make visual sense? If not, consider playing with placement and perspective to help create the right scale. 

Style- Do the styles of the sets work together. I love the distinctive, fresh and modern designs created by Avery Elle and so many of the sets go so well together. Using a cohesive color palette can really help the two sets blend together. 

Scene- Think about making a scene. Can one set create a backdrop for other images to take center stage? Will the sets compliment each other to tell a story or make a visual statement that you are trying to achieve? 

Supplies:

I hope these tips and ideas will help you look at your stamps in new ways and think about all the fun combinations that you can create! Thanks for stopping by!
