Hello Stamplings!
This technique was SO interesting and satisfying! Basically ... well, let me show you the photos first:

I painted the pear with markers, spritzed, and stamped. The cover plate is by Reverse Confetti.
And the same stamped in gray:

And this one uses two pieces of patterned paper:
The pp used above is ancient and in person it has a beautiful twinkly glaze:

I just love these designs and now I want to try this technique using other large stamps and cover plates. Basically, here's how it works:
- Using your Misti, stamp two card fronts with the same large image (or grouping of smaller images). Background stamps, large florals, etc., work well.
- Using a cover die, cut ONE of the stamped or pp panels.* (If desired for texture, cut more blank pieces with this same die and glue them into a stack with the stamped one on top.)
- Glue the stamped cover die-cuts onto your second stamped panel, being sure to perfectly line up the stamped patterns.
- Note: if you don't have any cover dies, use multiple small shape dies to cut the second panel and put them in place.

If you click over to the Group of Seven Cardmakers website, you will find a Gina K. video link and full instructions, as well as the sensational cards created by the other designers. I also found a great video by Heidi Walker using Lavinia stamps on The Yorkshire Crafter. Remember, there is also a linky tool on the website for you to share your results using this fun technique!

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*

What a cool technique this is. Love all your cards and must get round to trying it soon. Thanks for the inspiration xx
ReplyDeleteThese aren lovely! Well done you!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a technique that's new to me but the effect you got looks so cool I think I will have to try it out. :)
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL samples sis! The first two use all the same supplies accept for the colors of ink and they look completely different! And what gorgeous DP you used for your third - just beautiful! I know what you mean about not much showing up on the die cut until you lay it over the stamped panel - and it just blends right into the image! Wishing you a Blessed Easter! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards Darnell... you nailed this super creative technique, can't wait to try it... thanks for Hammy's hints too... Happy Easter, Robyn
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards using this technique, Dolly!! I LOVE your spritzed pear ... so pretty. It looks cool in shades of gray too. And the patterned paper is a great with this technique. A wonderful way to make use of patterned paper that we all have stored in our craft rooms! :) xx
ReplyDeleteFab examples of this technique, Darnell - love the pear image both in color and greyscale and your patterned paper example is gorgeous too!!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to me how different the cards are using the same technique. Hope I'll have time this weekend to take a look at the video. You are always inspiring!!!
ReplyDeleteYou sure picked a pretty cover plate to use for this technique, Darnell! All of your cards are fabulous, the last is my favorite. Thanks so much for the sweet card that arrived today. Wishing a happy Easter to you and your family XO
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. I especially like the one using the patterned paper. I've got some paper stacks that I think might work well for this idea. I hope to give it a try, anyway. It was fun to see the different takes on the idea from the Group of Seven. They're all so talented (and, of course, that includes YOU)!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty technique, it add so much to any stamping, no matter how CAS it might be! I love all the sparklies in that paper, and I'm so glad you showed us because it was definitely trying to hide
ReplyDeleteHi Darnell, three beautiful cards showing a wonderful new technique, love the coloured pears. Strangely today's Paper Rose newsletter also contains one of these cards. Have a wonderful Easter... Megan
ReplyDeleteWhat stunning cards you’ve made to inspire us to try this! I too shall be freaked out, but I’m going to have a go, thanks for sharing xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely examples of this interesting technique. Hope you have a good Easter weekend.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. Love this technique. Added to my 'to do' list.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful are your cards Darnell and wow what technique used always one to try different ideas so creative you are happy good Friday x
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat technique with impressive results, Darnell! Thanks for sharing. I hope you and your family have a lovely Easter!
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered how this look was achieved, and now I finally know! What a fantastic set of cards you've created with such amazing results! I just love those beautiful older papers you used on the 3rd card. Everything looks amazing and oh so pretty!
ReplyDeleteUsing both colors and gray is such a unique way to show this technique and I love them both. That pattern paper is gorgeous. I do like the cover plate you used on the cards because of the dimension it has.
ReplyDeleteFabulous technique and beautiful cards, very elegant. Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that colorful pear, Darnell. The eclipse takes nothing away from your beautiful image. I had the technique figured out after seeing Bonnie and Loll's cards but your written tutorial solidified it for me so I won't have to watch the video. I just want to jump right in with my many cover plates and give it a try.
ReplyDeleteFantastic cards, Darnell. The images you used are perfect for this technique.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, my dear Darnell.
hugs,

ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards Darnell! love this technique have a lovely weekend hugs Sue x
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards, so impressive! I have to try this technique.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Happy Easter!
Your cards are magical, my friend! Love the pears and kudos for getting them stamped and colored so they matched up perfectly! You're right about the patterned paper look when it has been die cut. I thought WHAT? Then I saw the magic!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are just stunning Darnell, what a fabulous technique, and your colours are gorgeous, Happy Easter, Kate x
ReplyDeleteOh My goodness Your cards are Fabulous! I love the look of the red? on the one. And yes I am going to give this try (sometime) I hope to send you an email later today.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty cool technique! I love your colors and coloring technique on the first pear. This is a nice way to use some patterned paper. I may have to rummage around in The Vast Hoard and see what I can come up with. ps: Darnell, thank you for the darling bunny card! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful examples of our Group of Seven technique! I especially love the second one - the grey is so subtle but still lets the technique shine through.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I love it when things that don't look "good" separate, but when you put them together they look spectacular. Good job of not giving up. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More!
