Hi!  Welcome to my blog.  I’m Sara Levin the artful inker.  And, I hope you’re having a wonderful day!  Today, I’m sharing First Frost 3 ways: beginner/I don’t have much time; casual/I like to add some detail; avid/I like tools and techniques.  I hope that by sharing this way, you’ll find the style that suits you and you can see how to get more out of your stamping.

 

First Frost 3 Ways

Beginner

 

 

For this card, you’ll cut a Pool Party base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″

Then, you’ll need two Whisper White pieces: 4″ x 5-1/4″

One of these is the focal layer and one goes inside.

Start by masking the sentiment with a piece of washi

so that only the selected part will be inked.

Ink with Pool Party, then remove the washi and stamp.

 

 

Next, stamp a large flower and a small flower on text weight paper

and fussy cut them.

Stamp a large flower on the card front in Pool Party.

Then, lay the large flower mask over it and stamp a small flower.

Repeat stamping small flowers and move masks as necessary.

Finish by stamping the flower bracts.

 

First Frost 3 Ways

Casual

 

 

For the casual card, start with a Thick Whisper White base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″

Add a layer of Pool Party: 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″

Cut the focal layer to 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″

Stamp the sentiment on a scrap piece of Whisper White.

Then cut out the sentiment and a layer with the Frosted Bouquet Framelits.

 

 

Next, stamp the flower bracts onto the focal layer.

Then stamp flowers onto Whisper White and cut with the

Frosted Bouquet Framelits.

After arranging the flowers, add the sentiment tag and a few Iridescent Sequins.

Avid

 

 

For this card, start with a Basic Black base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″

Add a Pool Party layer: 4″ x 5-1/4″

And cut a Whisper White focal layer: 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″

 

 

Stamp the masked sentiment on Whisper White in Pool Party.

Then use the Frosted Bouquet Framelits to cut out the sentiment

and a Basic Black layer.

 

 

Next, stamp flowers on Whisper White in Pool Party

and cut them out.

Spritz the flowers with alcohol and crumple the flowers.

Tip: Alcohol dries quickly and is less likely to cause the ink to bleed.

 

 

Next, stamp the flower bracts on Whisper White.

Then use the Frosted Bouquet Framelits to cut out

the bracts, Smoky Slate leaves and Basic Black berries.

Assemble all of the elements and finish with Clear Epoxy Droplets.
