Triple Layer Stamping Card

When you can't sleep what else do you do, but get up and get crafting.  I've got up twice so far tonight and it's only 4:40am now!

I saw a card with what appeared to be layers of stamping.  I'm still not sure what the technique is called, but I will call it "Triple Layer Stamping".  I found a tutorial on how to do it, so thought I would give it a try.

The sentiment is from a Stampin' Up set called "Petite Pairs".  The leaves are also from a Stampin' Up set called Vintage Leaves.  In both instances, I have used a Versafine Ink in "Vintage Sepia" shade.  I have coloured the leaves with a Promarker in a "Pear Green" colour.  Looking at the completed card, I think the leaves are too large for the size of the card.  So I had another go at the technique on a square card.

I am happier with this attempt.  I used two Stampin' Up sets for this card.  The "Hello" sentiment is from the "Sale-A-Bration Hello" set.  The flower is  from the "Secret Garden" set.  I have used a Versafine ink in "Onyx Black" for this second card.

Secret Garden Floral Birthday Card

Using up some of the floral blooms that I had previously die cut for another project, I created this card.

The stamped flowers are from the Stampin' Up Secret Garden stamp set and the secret garden framelits. They're coloured with Promarkers.  I used the Stampin' Up "Seaside" embossing file for the background.

Hello Secret Garden Card

Yesterday Postie kindly delivered an eBay bargain. A Stampin' Up Secret Garden stamp & framelits set. I couldn't wait to get creative and made this card.

I started by cutting a circle in yellow card stock. I then embossed (the non circle bit) using the Stampin' Up "Brick Wall" folder.

I stamped the flower images, using Promarkers to colour them. I ran the large flower through a dotty embossing folder to provide a bit of interest.

For the sentiment, I used Sale-A-Bration "Hello" stamp set and added it to the white circle area of the card. I played with the positioning of the flowers a fair bit, till I was happy with them. I then glued them down, with the exception of a couple which I used foam pads to add dimension to the display.
