This is my favorite card from this weekend. I wanted to give the appearance of the flowers dancing and tumbling across my card…
-
- Supplies-paint chips, die cut 'negative', inks
-
- Here's a handy tip-see the words on the paint chip?
-
- Now you don't!
-
- Use a white eraser and carefully erase them away! Works on many many paint chips!
-
- Use the negative from a diecut (when you order matching diecuts, just put in the notes section you'd like the negative, I'm happy to send some along!)
-
- Use DTP and a Cat's Eye (or other mini) ink pad
-
- I started with my darker color, working from the top down, leaving a little area around the edges for a lighter color
-
- Here's the image so far
-
- Now I'm adding the Burnt Sienna to the lighter areas, and blending in towards the center of the flower
-
- Both colors are added
-
- Time for the stem!
-
- Here's the first one. If you have this stamp you may have noticed, I placed the negative on flipped the wrong way...lol...good thing I have more of the paint chips!
-
- TIP: Be sure to check the position of your negative with the stamp you are going to overstamp with!
-
- Now with black ink, stamp your stamp so it is either slightly above, or slightly below the inked image. (I did both)
-
- Here are all three paint chips ready to use on the card
-
- Ink the edges of the chip. I did one all inked, and 2 with just 2 sides inked
-
- Use Designer papers, or stamp your own. (I stamped on designer paper...lol)
-
- Start placing your chips on the paper, play around with them until you like what you see.
-
- This layout makes me feel like they are dancing...
-
- Finishing touches! Got this border in a RAK, needed to cut it in half
-
- after I halved it, I also used a small hole punch, to give it a lacy look.
-
- Finished card-aren't they happy fall flowers??
Don’t forget this Friday is BLOG HOP DAY!! Our monthly hop starts on Friday at 8am (EST), and ends on Monday at 8pm; all of my designers meet a challenge and post their art. We link to each other, and you, the hopper, jump from post to post to see how each of us met the challenge. The challenge changes every month. It’s a fun way to see a bunch of uses for FCD stamps in a short amount of time too, and there is ALWAYS blog candy!! Hope you’ll hop along with us!
TFTI!!

Indeed the fall flowers are dancing, outside and on your card. Liked the tut on the lo stencil. Thanks for sharing all these good tips. Will have to try the white eraser thing, too.
Oh wow, and I have a bunch of paint chips too! Been collecting them. Thanks for the idea on removing the color name. I was wondering how to do it. Anytime you want to get rid of the negatives on your diecuts let me know. I’d even pay for them! LOL! I love using the negative parts. Now to wait impatienty for the blog hop!
he he - we really DO think alike! I worked paint chips into my blog hop piece for this week (sneak hint), and I ersased my words, too! LOL
Love this card - those colors are wonderful for the flower image, and I love that you colored it using the negative die cut image! Great idea!!
I really like the flowers and the use of the paint chips here! Watching you do the die cut negative at the house makes me appreciate teh work you really put into these cards! Beautiful!
