I love Laurie’s card! The score lines add so much interest to the card. The images are wonderful and the tiny accents finish the card perfectly. A really perfect card!

Ha, guess what I had been doing tonight prior to reading this post. Yep, stamping an image and adding shading using coloured pencils and OMS. To bad I did not use any PTI stamps although I did use PTI ink for my base stamping…
Love your card and your clever use of your dies.
Melanie H. says
Your shading appeared simple but turned out beautifully. Here, one can take a small stamp and easily make something different. Ah, you not only taught us how to stamp w/color but also to view stamps with an open eye to change!

Thank you for giving a technique to center the stamped image on the die cut. This has always been a challenge with the solid dies from PTI. Beautiful card.
Leslie L. says
So many pointers in one video…thank you so much Laurie.
Nancy Lempinen says
Thank you so much for your idea how to center a stamp onto the die cut. I have always struggled with this and felt my die cuts were not the way I wanted them to look. I can’t wait to try your method.
The double parasol is adorable and great hints about coloring the flower stamps as well.
Beautiful card!

What a wonderful video, and I just love this card! I love the idea for centering dies. I’ve done other ways, but this is an easy one! Beautiful card with this sweet parasol and flowers!
