I love crafting, especially rubber stamping. Most weekends I can be found surrounded by paper, rubber stamps and ink.

Happy Birthday

 Hello peeps,

I have a fun card made using a fun technique for this week's Paper Players color challenge. The technique can be found here on Gina K.'s YouTube channel. 

With four panels of white card stock cut to the same size, you stamp an image on two of the panels in exactly the same place. Using a cover plate, a geometric pattern seems to be best, you cut one of the stamped panels and both of the non stamped panels. Glue the three cut panels together with the stamped image on top, then glue this stack to the panel that is still whole, lining up the image. The image appears complete with some interesting dimension.

Gina recommends using black and white for this technique. I made three cards with black and white stamping after I watched her video. For this card, I decided to give something with color a try. While I do like the black and white best, I think this one turned out pretty nice.

This image is a single background stamp from Pink Fresh Studio with a coordinating layering stencil set for coloring. I used the SU challenge inks with the stencil. The greeting is hot foiled with black foil.  The butterfly image is also from Pink Fresh Studio and is heat embossed with white embossing powder on black card stock. The cover plate I used is from Gina K Designs.






The inside greeting is from one of Gina's Mini stamp sets.



If you're looking for a new and fun technique, give this one a try. Here are a couple of cards using just black and white. The stamps are from GKD.

  1. Colleen this is such a clever technique and a great way to give both large/background stamps and coverplate dies a new lease of life. I love all three cards but the coloured one is perfect for our challenge for sure. Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
