Morning all!
I’m over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today, trying to channel some sunnier vibes!
I am really getting fed up with this grey weather and a perfect escape is to brighten things up with a bit of stamping.
When I want happy colours, I think of rainbow shades. And when I think of happy pastel shades, I immediately reach for some of the lovely ink colours in the Lawn Fawn range.
I love repeat stamping in rainbow shades, and a great set for this is the versatile and inexpensive Make a Wish stamp set from Concord & 9th.
Stamps: Concord & 9th – Make a Wish
Die: Avery Elle – Double Pierced Squares (r)
You don’t need the dies to create some fab designs with this set.
I started out by selecting my rainbow pastels:
- Ballet Slippers
- Apricot
- Butter
- Celery Stick
- Kiddie Pool
- Minty Fresh
- Fresh Lavender
I cut a 4×4 piece of white cardstock with a die that creates a pierced edge like the Small Dotted Squares set from Lawn Fawn, currently discounted!
Then I centred the solid candle stamp on the square in my stamp positioner so that I could move the cardstock half an inch in each direction to stamp the three candles either side of the central one.
Everything ends up nice and uniform, and once you add the stripe/and dot details in the same ink shades the background comes together in no time.
I added the flame details in the same way, and simply used a black pen to draw the wick.
Then it was just a matter of stamping the sentiment from the same set in black ink, and mounting the panel on a square card base.
While the supplies were on my desk, I tried another colour palette using darker ink tones from The Stamp Market and mounted that one on a smaller card base covered in Lawn Fawn Let’s Polka paper.
Until next time, happy crafting!
