My First Layered Stamping Card | CraftyPaws

I have been wanting to try layered stamping for quite some time, but only this week did I finally get this Stampin’ Up! “Picture Perfect” stamp set that had a variety of layered stamping images. I fell in love with the hummingbird so I decided to do a flock of them on a CAS card (do hummingbirds travel in a flock? lol).

20160714_092317I don’t know why I thought I could just do this with no instruction, but I figured with my MISTI tool, I would be all set. Well…after a lot of fiddling, and eyeballing to try to get the various layers lined up, the hummingbirds turned out okay. Yep, no resounding success, but I had fun and now I am looking forward to my layered stamping class that I’ll be taking at the Scrapbook Exp tomorrow even more!

I used the following Ranger Adirondack pigment ink colors (I had picked these up ages ago at Tuesday Morning for about $2 each and really hadn’t used them much since I do more Copic and water coloring than colored stamping): Cloudy Blue, Sailboat Blue, Butterscotch and Stream.

20160714_092334The misalignment of my layered stamping looked a little like how 3D movies look without 3D glasses, and I just couldn’t live with that so I fussy cut each one of the hummingbirds out (yes, even the super thin beaks) and glued them onto a white card base, wrapping them around the front and back of the card. I love the CAS look but I think taking it around the back adds a little something extra. šŸ™‚

Then I used the “happy” and “anniversary” word dies from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Celebrate Thinlits die set. I cut the words out three times (making sure to secure the little dot for the “i”) and glued them together to make them dimensional like Thickers. I glued that onto the lower right of the card base and I would have finished it there, except that while I was gluing down one of the hummingbirds I smeared some of the ink onto the card base so I had to cover that up with some flower sequins. I actually like it even better with those couple of flowers and then the dozen or so doodled dots I added with a Sakura Clear Stardust Gelly Roll pen.

The inside is just lined with some pale handmade paper and a sentiment from the stamp set that says: ” Our hearts decide who is family,” which I thought was perfect for an anniversary card.
