Hello and welcome to this special hop between SugarPea Designs and My Sweet Petunia (MISTI). I am so honored to be part of the SugarPea Design team AND I love MISTI and it really has changed the way I stamp. It has made clear, crisp stamping so much easier and most important especially for me, that I don't have to waste my precious white cardstock :) I get it from US most of the time and shipping is a killer...lol
For today, I chose to create this gorgeous plaid pattern background using the Striped background stamp...WHY??? Cos MISTI makes it so easy...and I also created this layered stamping vase directly onto the die-cut as I had MISTI help.
First I aligned my stripe background stamp against the 45 degree angle from the new Creative Corners for MISTI. I then closed the door of the MISTI to adhere the stamp.
I then stamped the background using orange ink. I wanted kind of a distressed look so, I stamped this just once. If you want a solid stamping, you can stamp over the same again. I moved my cardstock to fill in the whole layer.
I then turned the layer 90 degrees and stamped the background again using Orange ink. Once this was done, I used the yellow ink, offset the card layer a bit and stamped onto the white layer once again for additional color.
I then die-cut the image die and stamped the multi step image using MISTI. I could stamp using 2 shades of ink for the leaves and flowers, as with MISTI, I knew I could stamp in the same position any number of times.
Here is a close-up for you
