Have you ever heard of paper piercing – I first saw the Sale-a-bration catalog and when I saw the Sunshine and Rainbows 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and the Driving By Sale-a-bration stamp set and had to try the paper piercing technique for the VW van in this set!
Stamp the VW van on both Basic White Cardstock and one of the DSP designs.
Cut out the colored section of the van in the DSP.
Glue the DSP to the fussy cut stamped image on Basic White cardstock. Now the VW van looks like it is right out of the 60s! Doesn’t it?
I used Smoky Slate Light for the “chrome” of the fenders, Basic Black dark for the tires, and added light Pool Party Stampin’ Blends for the glass on the windows.
Add the stamped focal point to a card and you have a fun throwback image without having to hand color the automobile!!
I added another 2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Sunshine and Rainbows DSP and popped the VW van up on Stampin’ Dimensional. Added Pale Papaya Open Weave ribbon that I dyed with Mango Melody ink to match the base card stock. Using a strip of Basic White I stamped and adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card.
I added the Artistry Blooms Sequins to finish off this sample.
Here is another sample paper piercing with the Simply Marbleous 6 X 6 DSP from the Sale-a-bration mini catalog. This van is colored using the same Stampin’ Blends as the previous card and mounted on dimensionals on a different design of 3″ x 5 1/2″ DSP from the same pack of Sunshine and Rainbows 6 x 6 Sale-a-bration DSP. Same sentiment, same Artistry Blooms sequins in a different color and differnt ribbon, and just changing a few things the cards look very different!
One more card sample using the VW van and the paper piercing technique same design but on a different card design. I used multiple layers of cardstock to add interest instead of DSP and Iridescent rhinestones for the sparkle.
