The tecnique I'd like to focus on today is paper piecing. You may not think about paper piecing with digital stamps but you totally can! Let's take a peek at my finished card and then we'll dive on in.
And here we go!
I started by printing out the digital stamp on to all of the different papers I wanted to use in my card.
Next I cut out all of the parts and pieces I needed.
Then I used Copic markers to add a bit of depth and dimension to the pieces.
I set the pieces aside to work on my base layer. I'm excited to make my first slimline card! I printed the same digital stamp onto the base white layer. I created my own mask using copy paper and got to work creating my ink blended background. I used Bundled Sage, Stormy Sky and Antique Linen Distress Oxide inks.
Once the blending was complete I removed the mask. To add a bit more interest to the blended background, I splattered it with water and dabbed it up after 10 seconds or so. I did also add some Copic marker detail to the bear.
Here is what it looked like after I used liquid glue to add the bits and pieces. I also used foam tape for even more dimension on the fox's scarf and the cuffs and band of the bear's sweater. Stay tuned for a side view.
I layered my finished panel onto a navy card base. I also used one of the sentiments from the same stamp set. I printed it onto white, layered it onto navy, layered again onto white and added foam tape to the back. All finished!
And a side view to see the added dimension.
I really appreciate you stopping by and I hope you give paper piecing with digital stamps a try!
