"From Card
To Art"
March's project of the month
compliments of Diane Miller, A Monthly Rubber Stamps Club.
Stamp Artist - Diane Miller |
| Create a card or small
piece of stamp art by using one or two stamps and three or four
colors. Construct your card on card stock that is big enough
to fill the opening of a 5x7" or 8x10" mat. Stamp
the same images used to create your card onto a selected mat.
Enhance the mat surface with the same materials and same colors
used on your card. Frame it! |

Card Instructions:
Stipple the following Iridescent Accents on white cardstock:
Sassy Brass, Copper, Delirious Blue, Jade, Deep Violet. Edge
with copper . Dry, then mount stippled layer onto black cardstock.
Stamp Egret image on white cardstock , color with Jade, Copper,
Delirious Blue, Deep Violet and Sassy Brass. Cut out entire image.
Stamp "Elm Arch" twice on white cardstock, emboss in
black. Color first with Sassy Brass, then shade on top with Copper.Cut
out images.
Using a stipple brush "paint" (do not stipple, use
your stipple brush as though you were painting) the edges of
a piece of black cardstock, using Iridescent Accents Delirious
Blue . Instead of a spotted stipple look, the cardstock will
look very textured ... almost like it has threads running through
it (unfortunately the scan does not show this well).
Layer the "Elm Arch" & "Egret" cut out
images onto the white stippled cardstock that is mounted onto
plain black cardstock.Mount this onto the black cardstock you've
just textured with blue.
Frame Instructions:
I started out with a plain white matboard frame. Using a damp
foam brush and Copper Iridescent Accents, I washed paint over
the entire frame. Using Gold Iridescent Accents and your stipple
brush, add gold highlights, using a sweeping motion, . Lightly
stipple Delirious Blue on top for a finishing touch!
