Big Inside Greetings Stamp Set & Dies + Love to Layer: Polished Points Die + In Frames: Big & Tall Rectangles Dies

Featured design by Bobbi

Bobbi Lemanski

SUPPLIES

STAMPS: Big Inside Greetings, Wedding Classics
DIES: Big Inside Greetings, Wedding Classics, Love to Layer: Polished Points, Big & Tall Rectangles
STENCILS: Baby’s Breath Stencil Collection
CARDSTOCK: Stampers’ Select White, Spring Rain
INK: True Black, Spring Rain
OTHER: White Gelly Roll Pen, Foam Tabs, Morning Frost Ink Pad, Copic Sketch Markers, Distress Oxide Ink: Tumbled Glass and Frayed Burlap, Bee Creative Precision Glue

TIPS: 

  • Add more interest to the babie’s breath blossoms by shadowing the with darker shades of the inked images.
  • Create additional patterns for background designs using the smaller flowers in the Wedding Classics stamp set. 
  • Pop up elements layered over inked patterns to make them stand out from the background. For example, the sentiment, dress, tuxedo jacket, and wine glasses were added using foam tabs to make them stand out. 
  • Let your sentiment / phrase be part of the card front design. For example, the sentiment from the Big Inside Greetings stamps is part of the front of the card versus inside the card.
  • Use the matching die with the Big Inside Greeting to get a full white background for readability. This helps when layered over patterns and other design elements.
  • White wedding dresses are pretty, but when stamped, adding shadows and highlights to the darts, tucks, pleats and other design elements of the dress really brings the white dress to life. You can actually see the fullness in the dress with the enhanced coloring.
  • Add some pearls! Real dimension like pearls can also be a way to “dress up” and convey a feel to the card that is real! Notice the pearl on the dress. It makes the waist banding more special and realistic.
