Hooray!

Hello there!

Mayuri here to share a card using the Hooray Nice and Neat die!

I used an inky panel from my stash as the backdrop to this super cute die-cut - I thought the copper foil card stock offset beautifully against the blues and purples ;-)

I adhered the inky panel down to a white card base, and then added small dots of glue to the top, middle and bottom of the die-cut piece before adhering that down too.

For a bit of interest, I added a couple of twine bows to the centre of the die-cut piece and sprinkled a few gold sequins to finish up!

Thanks for stopping by!

So very blessed - 3D style!

Hello there!

Mayuri here to share a simple technique that works brilliantly for so many of the Neat & Tangled scripty sentiment stamps ;-)

This is like repeat stamping, but with a slight twist - instead of making a pattern, you offset each impression, leaving you with a sort of 3D effect.

I took some watercolour paper, three shades of blue Distress Inks and stamped the So Very Blessed sentiment repeatedly, starting with the lightest and ending with the darkest. The very last impression was done with some black dye ink so that it could stand out more.

For some added detail, I used a white gel pen to fill in some of the open areas in the leaves and flowers, and clear Wink of Stella over the black areas. I also splattered small drops of ink onto the watercolour panel before foam mounting it to a dark blue shimmery card base.

To finish up, I added a twine bow, an array of Neat & Tangled sequins and a few gemstones.

I think this technique will work so well with Warm Wishes, Be Full, My Favorite and Hope Anchors!

Thanks for stopping by!
