Stamp 'N Hop September Blog Hop: Colouring

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 

Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it. I am hopping with the Stamp 'N Hop blog hop and the theme is colouring. I made this card while on holiday and this was the perfect theme as I had taken a limited amount of craft supplies and had only packed Basic White card stock and some inks, so no coloured card stock. I also had 3 stamp sets and dies and the mini cut & emboss machine. SO with this limited choice I think I did quite well to produce a card that had the look of coloured card tock mats.  

Measurements and Materials

• Card base Thick Basic White 8 1/4" x 5 7/8"
• Score @ 4 1/8" on the long side
• Mat 1 Basic White card stock
• 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"
• Using a blending brush ink edges with Evening Evergreen
• The more you go over it the deeper the colour
• Mat 2 Basic White card stock
• 3 5/8" x 5 3/8"
• Score diagonal line accross the mat, overlapping in the centre
• With a blending brush lightly add some Evening Evergreen ink
• Topper mat Basic White card stock
• 3 1/8" x 4 1/4"
• Using a blending brush ink edges with Evening Evergreen
• The more you go over it the deeper the colour
• Topper was cut using the largest Stitched Scalloped rectangle from Stitched so Sweetly
• While it was still in the die I used a blending brush and Soft Succulent ink to add some colour
• Star from Christmas Trimmings die set was cut from Basic White card stock
• Using a blending brush ink edges with Evening Evergreen
• The more you go over it the deeper the colour
