Using Layering Stamps

12/4/2018

 

All About Layering 2

This is my second course for Altenew’s AECP certification program. The second course showcased many of Altenew’s layering stamp sets. Many of the layering stamp sets are very large florals and due to the intricate designs, can really be the focal point of a card. For today’s post, I am building a sympathy card with the large layered hydrangea image being the focus of the card. Thank you for stopping by and read on for how I put this card together.

Building a layered stamped image

For this card I wanted the layered stamped hydrangea to stand out. These images are large and that’s one of the things I like about Altenew’s layered florals-it’s really all you need to make a stunning card. The Garden Hydrangea set has four layers to it. I made two blue flowers and two pink flowers. The blue flowers were stamped in: Hero Arts Soft Sky, Cornflower, Deep Blue and Navy. The pink flowers were stamped in: Soft Pink, Bubblegum, Ultra Pink and Burgundy. The leaves had three layers and I used: Momento Pear Tart, Hero Arts Field Greens and Hero Arts Green Hills. To stamp these images, I used my MISTI which helped with placement and allowed me to see where the stamp was going to land so I could shift the stamp as needed.

Building the card

After stamping the hydrangeas and leaves, I fussy cut the images. On Neenah Solar White 80lb, I used different embossing folders from Cuttlebug to emboss the backgrounds and provide some interest to the white space. I used Sugar Pea Designs Card Front Builder border dies to die cut 2/3 of the background. I then mounted the cut backgrounds to A2 sized card bases made from Gina K cardstock. The sentiments were heat embossed with Brutus Monroe Alabaster embossing powder. The sentiments are from different Altenew stamp sets. Altenew has great genuine sentiments. Using Thermo Web/Gina K foam tape and squares, I adhered the hydrangeas and leaves to the embossed panel. 
I was so inspired from Altenew's All About Layering 2 class that I made another card using the Simon Says Stamp/Altenew Collaboration from Stamptember 2017, Fabulous You. This layering set has an outline image and images to fill in. I used gold embossing powder for the outline stamp and Hero Arts Passion Flower for the flowers and Hero Arts Green Fields for the greenery. I die cut out a spring from fun foam and then mounted the stamped image onto the foam and then the whole item onto the card. I like the colors in this card.
