I'm learning more about layering stamps and getting in some good practice while completing my homework assignment in Altenew's All About Layering Lesson 3.
This card took a while to come together, there were multiple versions in my head before I felt like it was completed. I started with one of the outline stamps from Altenew's Scalloped Ornaments Stamp Set, which I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black on Neenah Solar White 8- lb cardstock. I began to stamp the first two layers in Altenew Crimson and Peach Parfait. Moving to layers 3, 4 and 5, I used Memento Luxe in Pear Tart and stamped layer 6 and 7 in Memento Luxe in Bamboo Leaves. Layer 8 which was a tiny flower at the top, I stamped in Altenew Rouge.
I then smooshed a white tag in Twisted Citronne and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide inks and Memento Luxe Bamboo Leaves. Using gold mirror cardstock, I die cut a brick motif and glued it to the bottom of the tag diagonally, cutting off any part that extended beyond the edges of the tag. I adhered the floral stamp to the tag and added a gold thread in the hole at the top.
Next, I ink-blended a panel of white cardstock in Twisted Citronne and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink and Memento Luxe in Bamboo Leaves. I stamped the other outline image from the Scalloped Ornament Stamp Set in three places around the panel in Versamark ink and heat embossed them in gold. Finally, I adhered the tag to the panel at an angle.
I attached the panel with the tag and floral stamp to a yellow and green patterned paper cut to an A2 background panel.
My next step was to cut Heffy Doodle's "Hello" die and adhered it to a white shadow after die cutting that. I then adhered the die cut to the panel and adhered all layers to a pre-cut A2 card in white.
