Stamp With Shel- Technique Tuesday...

Technique Focus—Colouring

Christmas is right around the corner!

Right now, you’re probably creating lots of Christmas cards to send to your friends and family.

As you make your cards for the holiday season, try out this fun coloring technique that might seem complicated at first, but is actually really easy to execute.

To make this card, start by inking the “Christmas” stamp from the More Wishes Stamp Set with a Soft Sea Foam ink pad.

Then use a Sponge Dauber to add Wild Wheat ink to the bottom of the word, then huff on it (breathe heavily on the stamp to remoisten the ink) and stamp on Very Vanilla Cardstock.

Next, die-cut a panel of Very Vanilla Cardstock using the Tiny Christmas Trees Die.

Next, using a Blending Brush and Soft Sea Foam ink color a piece of Very Vanilla card stock.

Layer the die-cut tree panel onto the Inked panel.

Add this panel to a Very Vanilla card base using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Die-cut the wreath - use DSP with the same colors as your card for a fun twist that adds lots of dimension.

Add the wreath to the card front.

Next, grab some Wild Wheat 2023–2025 In Color Jute Trim and pull one string from the spool to get a thinner piece.

Combine that with Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine and adhere both behind the stamped sentiment.

Try out this fun coloring technique in your cards this Christmas season!
