Today’s tutorial on SCS is written by Lydia Fiedler and it called “Blended Pencils“. You stamp a silhouette stamp with a light colored ink and add colored pencils over it.
For my sample I used Verve’s new set Kind Words and this weeks Midnight Madness sketch. I stamped the image in Antique Linen Distress Ink on Neenah Classic Creamand colored it with Prismacolor Pencils. It was cut with Classic Circle Nestabilities and spongedwith Antique Linen Distress Ink and layered on a Chocolate Chip cardstock circle. One of the sentiments of the set was stamped in Antique Linen over the image and the edge of the layer was paper pierced.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 6 1/2″ piece of Old Olive cardstock folded in half. A 3 3/4″ square of Cosmo Cricket Togetherness patterned paper was stitched to a 1/4″ bigger piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock. On the left is another patterned paper from the same pack measuring 1 3/4″ x 3 1/2″. Three sides of that paper strip were stitched and three green buttons were added to the top left of the strip. Lace was added to the lower half of it.
A Lacey Circlewas cut and embossed out of Neenah Classic Cream cardstock and adhered to the card base a bit off center. The patterned paper strip was adhered over it with dimentionals and the main image was adhered over it. The sentiment is also from the set Kind Words. Look what it says!!! How cool is that? And I didn’t even notice it until I was stamping with the set today. Made me smile big time!
I had to ink the sentiment in parts and stamp it a bit closer together with Rich Cocoa Memento Ink on Classic Cream cardstock. It was cut with Petite Oval Nestabilities and sponged with Antique Linen cardstock. The sentiment was adhered over the image circle to finish off the card.
The inside of the card was decorated with same patterned paper and stamps as the card front.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day
Hugs and smiles (*grin*….I can stamp that now! LOL)
