Today “Crystal Drops”, Penny Black’s elegant collage stamp, is used with the same masking/stamping technique along with Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko's inks to create a card and a box.
For
the card, a small area was masked, inked and stamped.
TIP/HINT: For shadow/echo stamping, stamp the
image once, clean the stamp, re-ink with a second color, and then stamp over
the previous impression.
Dimensional
embellishing accents were created from the sentiments from Hello Winter.
Using
the same techniques, a box was designed to match the card.
The
top of the box contains the same shading and “echo” stamping. This time the masks were removed before the collage was stamped so the design could extend beyond the "inked window".
Here,
tucked on the inside, a wintry sentiment was added from Christmas Cheer.
To
finish, the bottom of the box was stamped with Christmas Story.
TIP/HINT: Penny Black’s Cardstock is
wonderful for creating boxes. Great
weight and the one-sided color makes it easy to create two-tone pieces. In this sample, Clear Skies cardstock offers a
fabulous option for the interior to be white while the
outside portion is a beautiful blue.
This
box was a make-n-take project I taught at CHA and welcome you enjoy these
instructions for creative inspiration.
