Dear ,
    
Happy Friday! It was officially back to school this week in Rock Valley. The weather's feeling fall like this week, so it seemed fitting to be back in the classroom and in my scraproom scrapping back to school layouts. It's been a busy week, but I'm loving the hustle and bustle of a new school year and looking forward to a relaxing weekend. I hope you have a fun and relaxing weekend too!  

August Card Sketch
          
Hello there!  It's Kristie Larsen here and I'm so glad to be with you today using August Card Sketch and sharing a quick technique that can be used with any outline stamps.



Let's get started! First here is my card:      



I started with the Altenew stamp set, Painted Poppy. I heat embossed the images using gold embossing powder and Versamark ink.



Next I took some Tim Holtz mini cube distress inks and sponged color over the embossed image with a foam blending tool.



It's such an easy thing to do and its fun to see the flower come to life. This technique is a fun way to get a different look out of this stamp set. This set is originally a multiple layer stamp set, but you can use just the outline and add your own color. And instantly you have a new look!

Next I trimmed down the panel so the edge of the card base could peek out, thus adding the vertical line seen in the sketch. I added a sentiment and this simple but pretty card was complete!



I hope you found something inspiring here today. This is a fun and fast technique that i hope you will try! It's great to have in your arsenal to help you get more out of your stamp sets.
Have a great month. Thanks for letting us visit you in your inbox! You can head over to the store to see all the new items in stock for you to enjoy!
Until next time, just keep on stamping!
