Quick card idea: 1 stamp, 2 colours + white

When I designed the original Shady Designs stamp sets, the idea was to create quick backgrounds that appeared as if you had done lots of different stamped layers. Sharing a card today using one stamp & 2 colour inks ...


Full details about how to make the card are below.

Simply Be You

Main supplies used -

1] Stamp the Pattern Parade main stamp image on to a piece of white card measured to fit a 7" x 5" card blank. I have used Frayed Burlap distress oxide. Whilst the ink is wet, blend out some areas with a water brush/paint brush.


2] Add additional colour with Picked Raspberry distress oxide with a water brush/paint brush. I put the colour on the main focal pieces of the stamp.


3] Tear a piece of vellum to fit over your finished panel. I decided to use a piercing tool to add further decoration. Stick to the vellum panel to the back of your stamped & coloured topper. Add the topper to your card blank.


My finished card size is 7" x 5" tent fold. I added a sentiment from one of the Shady Designs sentiment sheets as my finishing touch.

Other ideas?

This design would work if you 
  • changed where you stamped the focal image eg: top, bottom, corner etc
  • simply embossed the design with gold or silver powder
  • changed finished card shape to square
  • stamp image on to vellum  and heat emboss the design 
  • same design idea would work with other Shady Design background stamps

Sometimes we do not always have the time we would like to be able to craft, so quick card ideas definitely help.

Until next time, take care & happy crafting,
