2 ways to add color to a solid image with video & free project sheet

April 11, 2024

Today's project is one we made at my March card clubs; it features the beautiful Quiet Reflection stamp set.

This set is returning in the 2024 Annual Catalog and I'm super glad! It's wonderful for both sympathy or thinking of you cards. And the best part is it's super easy to create with. See the Quiet Reflection set here.

My colors include Shaded Spruce & Starry Sky (retiring In Color). I used a few dies also – Thoughtful Expressions (retired and sold out now) and Garden Meadows dies seen here (for the arch).

Do you know how I achieved the two-toned image of green trees with blue water? It's so simple!

How it's done: I placed my stamp set with the rubber face up. I inked up one half with Starry Sky ink (tapping the rubber with the ink pad) and then the other half with Shaded Spruce. The nice thing about doing this technique with this particular stamp image is that when you place your greeting strip across the image it covers up any white space left un-inked.

I added a few of the Gold Adhesive-backed Dragonflies & Birds seen here. I love these so much! They're super thin and don't add any bulk to your projects.

In the video posted here on YouTube you can see how I made this card and another with an entirely different way to achieve a 2-toned image.

I am so excited about sharing this project on today's FB Live video!

In the photo below you'll see something that looks like a card…. but it's not!

It's actually a card folio that 'fits' cards inside. Today is a sneak peek; I'll share details in the video today and more on tomorrow's blog post.

I've made one years ago and when my friend Susie Wood shared hers I had to make one too! I chose to use the Good Feelings stamp set seen here.  It's on sale starting today with the Seasonal Sale. It was $24 but is not $20.40.

In the folio I used the Contoured Scalloped dies for the frame, a few dies from the Penned Flower dies seen here. They were $30 and are now $24. I also used the coordinating Hand-Penned Petal stamp set seen here. They were $22 and are now $18.70.

Save

My colors include Soft Succulent, Petal Pink, Evening Evergreen and Calypso Coral. The pretty Designer Paper is the new Fitting Florets seen here; it's available through January 4th or while supplies last. It's also part of my card kit to go seen here or the PDF tutorial here.

Join me here at 11 am Central time on Facebook. Or click here to see it on YouTube later.
