Hello Stamping Friends,
Happy halfway through the week. Hope your week is going swell. Today I join the Crafty Collaborations for a Valentine's Day Blog Hop. Valentine's Day will be here before you know it, since the days are flying by. I can't believe we are more than halfway through January already.
I made a card that may not scream Valentine's Day, but it certainly is a good card to give to your Valentine,
What's sweeter than sharing a milkshake with your sweetie? One shake and two straws. I used Sweet Sorbet ink, designer series paper, and cardstock, but made the ink have two colors by stamping off, and muted the cardstock by placing a piece of cardstock vellum over it. I love how it looks a little softer than what the cardstock would look like without it.
I stamped the sweet sorbet ice cream top on scrap paper and then stamped a second time without reinking to get it a little lighter. This is a perfect way to get a coordinating color without having a second ink color on hand.
When you stamp the greeting on the vellum, you need to be a little careful because it takes some time to dry. You don't want to smudge it by touching it too early. Also, when attaching the vellum, you put the adhesive on the vellum where there will be other things covering it so you won't see the adhesive through the vellum.
For the ice cream cup, I stamped off the smoky slate and then stamp it for the first layer and then stamped it full strength for the second stamped layer,
