Blog Design Team: Congrats on Your Mini Me!
Today Blog Design Team member Amy Kolling is sharing a sweet baby card that you will love as much as we did the moment we saw it!
Now, let’s hear from Amy about her project…
The saying from the Mama & Me stamp set,
“congratulations on your mini me”, is one that I find myself using all
the time — it may be because the Austin Powers movie from “back in the
day” was a favorite of mine!I have been
obsessed with using my Distress Inks lately and Mermaid Lagoon is just fabulous. I started by white heat embossing the
fishy stamp onto watercolor paper.Next, I used the ‘smooshing’ technique
that is so popular right now. Basically, you lay your Distress Ink
color down onto a craft mat and spritz with water. Then you simply lay
your paper into the ink and ‘smoosh.’ You never know what you will be left with! I love how it gives different results every time! With this
panel, no further coloring was needed.The sentiment was lined up and
stamped onto a white panel that was die-cut with a standard circle die. I then assembled my shaker card.
Thanks so much, Amy, for this absolutely darling baby shaker card! You can catch more of Amy’s design work on her blog, Stamp-n-Paradise.
