SSS Printmaking Postage

Happy Wednesday!  I have a couple cards to share today featuring my latest Printmaking set, Printmaking Postage.

This first card is pretty basic.  I stamped the outline (using Versa Clair), and then each of the subsequent layers using Seafoam, Celery, Lemonade and Peachy.

To add a bit of texture and depth, I added some simple coloring/highlights with colored pencils.

The outline image (still in my stamping platform) was then restamped over top to crisp things up.  

The sentiment, also from the set, was also stamped with Versa Clair.

I decided to step things up for this next card.

I started by stamping the image as before, but this time I used Morning, Heather, Twilight, and Earl.

Next, I cut another panel of white cardstock, placed the coordinating die in the center, and die cut.

This created windows for my stamped images.  Popping up this piece over the stamped panel would add some great drama, but to step things up even further, I decided to make a shaker card.

It's been ages since I've created a shaker, but it really is pretty easy.  I cut a piece of transparency paper slightly wider than my die cut openings, added tape runner around the back side of the opening, and adhered the transparency over the opening.  

I then created a little 'well' around the stamped images using foam adhesive and sprinkled my shaker contents inside.

The window piece was then lined up and adhered over top.

Super easy, and I love the look.
