Hey, everybody! I hope you all had an awesome weekend. I'm just popping in today to let you guys know that I'm up over on the Hero Arts blog sharing this fun card and a video too.
I have to start out today by making a confession... I am terrible with color layering stamps! Since I wanted to use the Color Layering Strawberry stamp set today I decided I needed to come up with some tips for success with your color layering stamps.
My first tip for success with color layering stamps is to check out the guide that Hero Arts provides for every color layering stamp set. You can find these guides on the packaging your stamps come in as well as on the Hero Arts website. Stamping in the order suggested by these guides will help your stamps layer properly and may help you line them up more easily. Here is the guide for the Color Layering Strawberry stamp set.
So, I stamped the background of the strawberries, then the strawberry detail, then the background of the leaves and then the detail of the leaves. One of the things I struggle with is picking just the right colors of ink to use. Today I did not have any issues without because today a new four pack of cube inks called Strawberry Hues Dye Inks was released and it was made to be used in combination with this stamp set. That's my second tip: check to see if Hero already offers inks in the perfect color combo so that there is no guess work.
I have some more tips in my video which you can watch on the Hero Arts YouTube Channel. After stamping and die cutting my strawberries I added them along with a sentiment on top of an ink-blended background.
The last step was to add a few sequins from the Winter Sequins Mix. And, that's it folks! There is more info and a video over on the Hero Arts blog so please head over there if you'd like more info!
Have an awesome day!
