Well today I received my latest Stampin Up order of the Beautiful You Stamp set.
I'd seen a few cards on you tube and Pinterest using this stamp set and thought they were very "classy" looking. I couldn't wait to have a go, although being a newbie to the Stampin world I was a bit apprehensive because I'm not very good at colouring in. Through watching you tube videos though I learned that you don't have to be the greatest colourer, you can use the "splashes" of colour that come in the set to stamp over her dress, which I did in the photograph. You can also use what is known as 'paper piecing' where you stamp the image of the lady and cut out her dress to place over your original stamped image. This is my next project I think, then I'll maybe move onto try colouring with my ink pads and aqua painter.
The materials I used were:
Very Vanilla Cardstock which I cut to A5 size as I like big cards, then I added my first layer which was Night Of Navy. I then embossed and inked some very vanilla with Stampin Ups Seasonal Decorative Masks and Night Of Navy ink, stamped my image and sentiment onto the cardstock then cut it out using some layered circles. I finished it off with another beautiful sentiment from the set.
I'm quite pleased with the final results and plan to give this card to one of my beautiful stylish friends who I know will just love it!
If your thinking about buying the Beautiful You Set I say go for it, you'll love it!
Happy Crafting
