two step stencil technique

by nataliegramleystamps | Jun 23, 2023 | card samples, my favorites, stamps ink paper, techniques

I have used Masks in several posts previously but this technique uses a two step method.

BASE: Berry Burst CS 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″ and a scrap for the
sentiment piece
Lemon Lime Twist scrap 1″ x 4 3/16″
Basic Black CS: 4″ square

Die cut the large flower die from the Artistic Dies in black CS.
Place the black CS negative piece on the Basic White CS piece.
Using a Blending Brush and Lemon Lime Twist, ink the edges where the negative space is for the leaves.

Ink the negative space in the center where the flowers would be with Highland Heather and Berry Burst ink and Blending Brushes.

Remove the Black CS negative die and place the mask from the Four Square Decorative Masks set and add another layer of ink with the same colors. Go over the Lemon Lime Twist over the mask where the areas underneath are Lemon Lime Twist.

Ink a blending brush with Highland Heather and Berry Burst over the areas where the same colors are.

Remove the mask.

Cut the Basic White CS and adhere to the card base.

Adhere the black die cut over the two step technique area.

Emboss the Lemon Lime strip and adhere to the right side of the card.

Stamp the sentiment from Wonderful Thoughts in Berry Burst. Die cut the sentiment with the large banner from the Stylish Shapes.
Cut the banner in half and pop up the sentiment on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add 2023-2025 In Color Dots to the card front.

Love the way this two step stencil technique turned out! Hope you try this technique soon – and create your own art one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

more color mondays

by nataliegramleystamps | May 8, 2023 | color challenge, stamps ink paper

Well it’s Monday and that means it is time for a color challenge – want to play along go to Facebook at http://www.Facebook.com/nataliegramley and find today’s post and upload your version of the color challenge in the comments section!

Today’s color challenge features Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather – I personally LOVE this color combo and the set that I am using is called Two Toned Flora it is a two step stamping set.

Two Step Stamping… It simply means using two or more stamps to create one image. Doesn’t matter if it is two, three, eighteen – it’s all two step stamping. This floral set creates an amazing image with depth and dimension to the flower as you add the second stamp.
See photo number one for the difference between the initial stamp and after adding the two step stamp.

First stamp the flower base image with the Highland Heather. Then overlay the second “detailed” flower stamp over the first stamped image and stamp with the darker Gorgeous Grape ink. The effect is stunning! The flower just pops!

Measurements:
BASE: Granny Apple Green 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic white: 4″ x 5 1/4″ scrap for flowers
Gorgeous grape scrap for sentiment

Stamp the leaf sprigs image in Granny Apple Green on the Basic White layer.

Using a Gorgeous Grape scrap stamp in Gorgeous Grape ink the sentiment from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set and die cut with the Deckle Rectangles die set.
Then stamp the smaller floral image on the left hand edge of the sentiment piece.

Two step stamp and die cut multiple flower images and layer onto the Basic White cardstock layer. I popped up two of the flowers on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
