Slimline Stamps on a2 Cards | Pinkfresh

Hey Crafty People!

Today I’m sharing a card that I made showing a technique to use slimline stamps on a2 cards. This is one of the gorgeous slimline stamps from Pinkfresh Studio, so it also has a coordinating stencil to quickly & easily colour it in. I will be using these, however you could achieve a similar look by colouring the image with any medium/technique.

How To:

  1. Stamp the top portion of the Chrysanthemum image onto an a2 panel of Neenah 80lb using a MISTI or similar. Before flipping your panel to line the stamp back up to fill in the other side. (Use detail Black ink and heat set this or leave it to fully dry so as not to smear the ink when you start to colour it.)
  2. Position the first layer of the coordinating stencil over the portion of the flower you have stamped and then blend your inks, starting from the bottom and working through the following inks:
    Sapphire, Blue Jay, Lavender then Candy Violet.
  3. Reposition the stencil to ink up the other portion of the image; this time the blue will be at the top of the image, since this is now at the bottom of the panel.
  4. Blend Meadow ink through the second stencil to give the base colour to your leaves/stem. Reposition and repeat.
  5. Position the third stencil, which gives the second layer of colour to the flowers. To add more depth, use darker colours over each area, so this time from the bottom up:
    Star Gazer, Sapphire, Candy Violet, Regal Kiss.
    Then reposition & repeat.
  6. Use Emerald City to add the detail to the stems/leaves using stencil number four. Of course, reposition and repeat.
  7. Colour the background with Copic marker E11, which is a nice, warm cream that looks beautiful next to the cool tones of the flowers.
  8. Trim the panel down to 4in x 5.25in and then adhere to a white, side folding card base made from 110lb Neenah.
  9. Then, hot foil a sentiment using the Perfect Sentiments hot foil plate and die cut with the coordinating die. Add two layers of white cardstock die cut behind the foiled sentiment, because this will give stability and dimension. Glue this onto your card panel.
  10. Lastly, embellish with metallic gems.
