Happy Wednesday!
Today, I am super excited to be hosting the Mod Squad Challenge.
Any of you that know me well, know that I'm a lover of 'techniques', so my challenge
is to create something using the 'Shadow Stamping' technique.
 |
| Supplies Used: Gina K. Designs Stately Flowers 8, by Melanie Muenchinger, Gina K. Designs Pure Luxury White Cardstock (MY LAST PIECE - EEK!!!), Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Tattered Rose, Victorian Velvet, Foam Dots, Kaiser Craft Pearls, A Muse Cardstock (Mat), Perfect Papercrafting Mini Rulers (see sidebar for details) |
For my card today, I've used Melanie Muenchinger's 'Stately Flowers 8', which can be found at
Gina K. Designs. This set is gorgeous - I am totally in love with all of Melanie's flower sets, and her basket sets are amazing, too! When I win the lottery, I shall own them all :) This set was in my
mailbox this week - a gift from Melanie. You should have seen my Post Office happy dance!
Thank you Melanie - you are so kind and generous!
If you have never shadow stamped, you will have fun with this.
Find a stamp that would look nice with a shadow. Stamp it once in a darker color,
then stamp again, moving the image slightly, to create a shadow image.
If you are a visual learner, Gina has a great video on StampTV, showing this technique.
If you've ever been stumped on a monochromatic card challenge, this technique would be perfect!
Thanks for stopping by - hope that you will try this technique,
and play along with this challenge at the Mod Squad Challenge Blog!
Can't wait to see your creations!
Hugs & Blessings,
Patti J.
