Summer Card Camp 2 Day 3
Today was day three of Summer Card Camp 2 and a few guest designers were on board today sharing their expertise. So for my homework today I focused on creating backgrounds with stamps on two cards, which is not something I normally do. I also created a card after being inspired by Tami Hartley's card from day 2. It was a fun day experimenting!
Here are the cards I created:
I created this background with what I learned from this video by Kristina Werner using the Simon Says Stamp July card kit stamp set and followed sketch #3. I really like that background effect! It took a little time but I think the end result is worth it!
Card #2 I created with Tami Hartley's card in mind from day 2. I really liked her effect with the paints and the black. I don't have the materials she used to create a card using her techniques so I went with using my Distress Inks on craft sheet with water to create the background and found a similar flower stamp in my stash to use. I 'm not crazy about the greeting part and thinking I might do some card surgery... Thoughts???
And card #3 I followed sketch #2 for the week, and had Kelly Purkey's idea of creating a background with a greeting stamp of some sort. I used some Paper Smooches sentiments that I placed together to create this background. This is the first time I've done this background and I like it!

Love your card #2 - I think if the sentiment was embossed in black that might be the fix you are looking for. That background is really cool!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you and thank you for the idea fix! I was thinking the sentiment in black as well... :) Will play around with it today.
DeleteWow! You've been busy today--I like all 3! Your backgrounds are great, especially the one where you created the plaid with July's Card Kit Stamp. That just might entice me to join!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The Simon Says Stamp card kit is so much fun to get! I don't always end up creating a card using the items together that come in the kit, but it's a great way to add great stamps, paper, and embillshments to your stash!
DeleteOh, almost forgot. You asked for thoughts about the second card. I thought if you trimmed the top of the blue rectangle a little more it would not be as big and might look better. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your idea! :)
