Hello Stampers,
Today I am sharing how to use the long clear block to stamp a border or background. I love this technique it is a quick way to add marble color to your card.
I have the how-to video at the bottom of this post or you can view it on my YouTube Channel.
Measurements
- Whisper White 8½ x 5½ score at 4¼ card base
- Pretty Peacock 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 2 x 4 to die the tree
- Whisper White Thick 5¼ x 4
- Adhesive sheet 2 x 4
Color Combo
For today’s cards, I only use 2 colors Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock. You can add more colors no limited on how many colors. My best advice is you start with the lightest and go to the darkest so you maker don’t get all mix in the colors.
Here some great combo
- Summer combo: Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz and Melon Mambo
- Fall combo: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, and Cajun Craze.
- Winter combo: Balmy Blue, Bermuda Bay and Misty Moonlight.
- Spring combo: Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Highland Heather.
Another place to find some great combos is the color coach. If you don’t have the color coach yet CLICK HERE to download.
Daisy card
This lovely one I share on Facebook live many months ago and I also did lots of them for Thank you cards last spring. I love these colors together. The greeting on this one was the stamp set in the spring catalog call Honey Bee. The rounded greeting with the daisy was a perfect combo.
