Hi everyone! I thought I would share one of my convention swaps today. This is one of the cards I made for convention using the Ray of Sunshine stamp set. I really liked this set not just for the fun images but I also liked the sentiments that came with the set as well.
I used So Saffron and Crushed Curry for this card. I made the face with the "rock and roll" technique by first inking the stamp up in So Saffron, then rolling the edges around in Crushed Curry.
Next I got out my Stamp-a-ma-jig to add the rays. With the Stamp-a-ma-jig you get a clear imaging sheet, which doesn't show up in the photo, sorry. You place the stamp in the corner of the stamp-a-ma-jig and stamp onto the imaging sheet, which is also tucked into the corner of the stamp-a-ma-jig.
Next you line up your imaging sheet on top of your card where you want the image to be, tuck the stamp-a-ma-jig into the corner and remove the imaging sheet, keeping the stamp-a-ma-jig in place. Now carefully place your stamp into the corner of the stamp-a-ma-jig and stamp.
I worked all around the sun by placing the rays directly across from each other and then adding more in between, does that make sense? I think its easier to get better spacing that way.
I used markers to ink up the tag so that I could get two colors on it. The scallop tag topper punch was used to make the paper into a tag, love that punch. I also added some pretty gold bakers twine and sequin ribbon.
I hope my card was well received by those I swapped with!
Hi Beth, love what you did with this sun image and how you treated the sentiment. A wonderful card. I was so delighted to meet you at convention! Thanks so much for the MDS charms - love them!
