5 Cards 1 Stamp Set - Altenew Garden Grow

Good Afternoon Friends..

I'm here today with a whole bunch of cards made using 1 Stamp Set !!
A Very Sweet, Friend & a very Talented Crafter - Priya Sondhi challenged us to make 5 different cards using the same stamp set !! You can find her Awesome blog here !
Okay for this challenge I chose a Set from my Current Fav. Brand - ALTENEW !!
I picked the "Garden Grow" set !!

Isn't this such a pretty set with so many cute images !! Totally Loved working with these!

DISCLAIMER : It's gonna be a Picture Heavy Post !! 

This is what all my cards along with the Stamp Set look like together !!

Here's My 1st Card: 

 It's a CAS card where the stamping is continued at the back as well.

I quite liked this... 

I used my Ranger Archival- Jet Black Ink & Misti for this card !

Front View

Back View

Front & Back view..

Here's My Second Card !!

Used my Archival - Jet Black Ink to randomly stamp the collage on a piece of Tim Holtz watercolor paper. Using my Spellbinders Circle Die, I cut a window on the watercolor paper. Placing this piece on my Card base I traced the window & stamped the Flower pot on the Card Front. I used my Zig Brush Markers & Faber Castelle Watercolor Pencils to color. Next I adhered the Window Piece on my Card front using Foam Dots to create some dimension !! Simple, Qick & Easy Peasy !

Here comes Card #3 !!

This again is a Very Simple & Easy-to-make card ! I was done in less than 10 mins. Yay !!

I used my Sponge Daubers, Distress Inks (Wilted Violet, Twisted Citron & Worn Lipstick) & Circle Stencils for the Dots !! After which I stamped these cute lil images using my Ranger Archival - Jet Black Ink. & I was done ! 

Take a Look at Card # 4 !

I was so done with making CAS cards that I decided to make a few elaborate ones & this set called for some Watercoloring ! I created this scene, did some masking & watercolored the images using my Karutake Gansai Tambi colors ! I love them... I used the Tim Holtz Watercolor Paper & Ranger Archival- Jet Black Ink for stamping !!

After painting the images, I went over the inked edges using my Fine Tip Black Sharpie for the detailed look. 

My 5th &  Final Card for this series :

Since we were to Bring out our stash & put it to use, I thought of pulling out my Pattern Papers which have been untouched since a long time now !! I picked the 'Zaphyr" 6x6 paper pad by Prima Marketing for the front panel. It went perfectly with the Window & Flower Box Die-cuts from Memory Box.

I stamped the plants on a watercolored cardstock using my Ranger Archival Jet Black Ink & painted it using my Gansai Tambi Colors. Outlined the image using my Fine Tip Sharpie to give it the crisp look & mounted the Window die over my painted piece using double layers of Dimensional Tape !

I adhered the Pattern Paper on a White Cardstock by Neenah Solar White !

Well this is it for now Friends. I hope you all liked what I had to share !

Do bring out your stamp Sets & Play as much as you can !! I'm sure you'll come up with many many many ideas.. Don't Forget to share & also tag your projects to #psstretchyourstash !! 

I'm Linking Mine right away !! Are you ???

Thanks so much friends for taking the time to go through this Heavy Post !!

Have a Nice Day !!

Hugs,

Double Embossing Stamping Resist Tutorial

Hi Friends...

It's Time now for another Tutorial !

Yes !! It's Double the fun......with 

"Double Emboss Resist Technique"

...so lets get started !!

Step 1: Use your Memento Inks/Archival Inks to stamp your background.

Here I am using a Flourish Stamp & the Blue Summer Sky Memento Ink.

Step 2: Next I stamped some text back ground randomly using a darker shade of blue ink.

Step 3: Now for my next design I have chosen a Prima Stencil instead of any stamp.

I have covered the entire card stock with the stencil & inked it with Versamark Ink.

(P.S. When using your stencils make sure you use the ink pad liberally.)

Step 4: Now it's time to emboss. I have used my Fav. Lindy's Stamp Gang Embossing Powders.

These are two-toned Embossing Powders just like the Sprays..& the results are just fabulous.

We have a whole lot of shades in the store!! Grab some of your favourites & create magic.

Step 5: Use your Heat Tool to emboss the powder. You'll see the two-toned effect once the powder melts. Doesn't it look gorgeous !! I love it !!

Step 6 : Bring out your Lindy's Stamp Gang starbursts & get spraying!!

I have sprayed the background using 2 colors.

Step 7: Dab the excess with a wet tissue/ baby wipe & dry off with your heat tool.

And a Gorgeous Background is ready to be worked on !!

It looks just faaaabulous in Real Life !!

Love all that shimmer...

   Here's my Card using this Background...

__________________________________________________________________________

This is not all my Friends...

I have yet another card using the Double Emboss Resist Technique...

for this card I have used 2 Stamps..instead of 1 stamp & 1 stencil.

I stamped the Leaf Silhouette stamp with my versamark ink & clear embossed it !

once dry..i distress the entire cardstock with Walnut Stain Distress Ink & wiped the excess off with a baby wipe !! And here's the result !!

And here's what the Final Card looks Like !!

I hope you all have enjoyed my tutorial.
