5/29/12 Challenge: Do the Two-Step

Create a card using a two-step stamping technique. You can try out a cool little gadget called the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, or you can "eyeball" it. Either way, start with a base stamp and use another to add to it. Acrylic stamps work great for easy alignment, as do rubber stamps "on a stick" like the ones I used for the sample card.

This card didn't take as long as it may look. I "eyeballed" all the elements. If I was a little off a branch, I simply used a Copic Multiliner to draw in the line I needed to attach the leaf or hat.

I didn't want the machine stitching to show on the inside of the card, so I sewed the image to the brown cardstock before adhering it to the base card.

Supplies:
Tree, leaves, party hat, rocks, and fence post are all Stamps By Judith
Sentiment is Upsy Daisy from Stampin' Up!
punches are Stampin' Up!
background was chalked after the images were stamped and colored
colored cardstock is Recollections
white cardstock is Copic BlenderXpress
markers are Copic
glimmer mist from Tattered Angels
glitter glue from Ranger
