Hello Ai Fans !!!
Today’s card was an awesome challenge , how can I make an amazing card with only one layer ? I guess you start with amazing stamps , Ai has that covered ,so I will show that you can create depth and dimension with shading and colors and layering stamps.
I started with SU going grey card stock I stamped Spud (sku # 1557 ) mid center of my card
I then took copic marker W1 and went around the entire stamped image , this makes your stamp pop off the page ( I do this every time I stamp , I love the way it looks ) I learned this a CK convention last year and have been in love with this technique ever since .
I hope you will give this a try and I am sure you will love it as much as I do. Don’t you think this card turned out great and not a single ribbon ,brad or anything… crazy how a single layer can look like it pops off the page…
Supplies : Art Impressions Spud ( sku # 1557 ) , Paper Trey Ink News print background stamp , Copics , Tim Holtz picket fence marker ,Gelly roll clear star glitter pen , Elmer’s repositionable glue stick , SU card stock in Going Grey , SU soft suede ink
Crystal! This technique is SO cool! I love what you’ve done with Spud, great masculine card! Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for showing us the great tutorial and all the helpful techniques. You made Spud jump off the card! Looks like he has all he needs – drink, food and remote! Lol!!
Great card…great tutorial! When I first looked at your card, I thought you painted a white base over printed designer paper and then stamped your image…duh, so glad you cleared that up!
Wow, Crystal, this is fantastic! Thanks for all the little tips (like the copic outline) I really love the way this turned out.
OMG, this card is fantastic…I love it!! The dimension your coloring gives is phenomenal. Thanks for playing with us at Stampotique Designer’s Challenge this week!
