Magnolia Moment

How in the world is it April, already! I mean, this crazy year is flying.  I realised the Stampin’ Up! retiring list will come out soon, I think it is at the end of the month.  I feel like I may be buying a few more stamps this month, being home more as I isolate I have made a few cards this week and that always has me looking at what stamps I don’t have. Why, is it they are the ones I want to use.

This card is an older one, remember a few weeks ago when I checked a card (see here) and could not name the technique, well it was triple layer stamping but with only two layers. Thanks to crafty friends on Facebook I worked it out.

I was thinking of triple-layer stamping technique using only two layers, I found a much better tutorial than I prepared (see here). I love how the image expands over the main layer, by colouring the main panel it spotlights the colouring.

I used Stampin’ Blends in Petal Pink, Soft Sea and Crumb Cake.

I have white embossed the greeting on Crumb Cake Card Stock and added a little whitewash over the top using watered down acrylic paint which I also used to add splatter over the colouring.

Inside the card, I have added a strip of Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper which the DSP that coordinates with the Good Morning Magnolia Cling Stamp Set.

I have left lots of room to write my message.
