Hello! Today I’m excited to share some techniques to get two cards for the price of one! I’m using some new products from Miss Ink Stamps, including the adorable Highland Cows stamp set.
Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:
Just how cute are those Highland cows!!? I just love them.
To start, I used a fun stencil technique, where you ink on a light color, then move the stencil a bit and ink on a darker color. For the first card I used a light green then moved the stencil and used a darker green over the top. On the darker cardstock (Desert Storm cardstock) I used WHITE PIGMENT INK first, then inked on Pine Needles Distress Oxide over the top after shifting the stencil a little. This creates a real POP in the color! Try this with any dark cardstock and white pigment ink…then a darker shade of Oxide over the top.
Once the stenciling was done and the ink was completely dry, I die cut the “HI” sentiment out of both cardstock pieces in approximately the same place. Then, you can switch the sentiments, add the shadow die and glue them back on top of where you cut that HI out of the panel! Such a fun technique and allows you to create 2 cards so fast!
That Hi Swirl Frame die set also includes all these beautiful flowers and leaves. I layered some up and created a spray of flowers for one card, and a small splash of flowers on the other card.
I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!
I hope you enjoyed this double project today! Thanks for stopping by.
