To celebrate the Trinity Stamps grand opening, we are having a hop & there are prizes! Head over to the Trinity blog if you get lost along the hop and to learn more about prizes!
Today I'd like to share an exercise I do to spark my creativity...I create multiple backgrounds with the same layout & same stamps but different mediums. The Trinity Let Love Grow stamp set was the perfect set to play with because it has so many possibilities! I created 3 backgrounds...
Copics
I still consider myself a Copic newbie so any practice is a good thing!
Distress Oxides
I love a good ink blended background! To create this card, I stamped the succulents in black and then covered with a mask before blending the Distress Oxides on top.
Distress Markers
After creating all my backgrounds, I added sentiments, black splatter and sequins to create cards. And here is a video of a quick trick I use for adding sentiments to backgrounds without messing them up!
Make sure to check out the rest of the Trinity Stamps first release because it's gorgeous! And keep hopping with us onto Jo Ann's blog!
Hugs!
Carly

Love the succulents! Beautiful techniques!
Ooo, I love seeing sets of cards like this; it really is amazing what you can do with a single layout! And I love how you kept a similar color palette across all your cards. I'm always looking for fun ways to do sets of cards for gifts, and I think this would work really well. Thanks for sharing with us!
I love your creative process, plus it means more playing with my supplies. I love succulents, have a huge garden full of them. So glad more companies are making stamps. But Trinity added crystals too! First set I'm grabbing. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Hi Carly. This is my first time to your site and I love your style. Adorable cards!
You've shared a lovely range of cards today. Thanks for the inspiration.
Ah! Love that you did different techniques with the same colors!
Awesome cards and colouring! Love your techniques!!!
Thanks for the tip and the card examples. I need to pull out the markers and do that one again. It' the first stamp technique I ever shared with my grandgirls, and we had so much fun that day. They are bigger now, and (shhhhhh, this is a secret) they are getting their own die-cutting machine this year so they can keep making cards. Thanks again. One of the things I am loving about my sort-of new hobbie is that you CAN do things lots of different ways.
Fantastic blog! I dont think Ive seen all the angles of this subject the way youve pointed them out. Youre a true star, a rock star man. Youve got so much to say and have a lot of knowledge about the subject that I think you should just teach a class about it…HaHa! where to buy stamps near me
