Nature's Wonder

She walked down the paved road and seemed to notice for the first time the beauty in a single blade of grass,  the intricate design of a tree branch full of leaves. She realized it was so pretty and so full of wonder, this thing called Nature is...

Practicing Creativity Design's is releasing another "sequel" this month, an everyday partner set to Christmas Wonder. There are many mix and match sentiments and a few beautiful silhouette stamp images to Nature's Wonder. I've created a quick tutorial to showcase how to use the silhouette stamps to create depth on a card.

Draw a horizon line lightly in pencil onto your card base or a piece of cardstock.

Using a piece of scrap paper as a mask, stamp an image repeatedly in your lightest ink color,
followed by one or two more slightly darker ink colors.
Offset the stamp slightly or vary the angle for a more natural, flowing feel.

Stamp your main image in the darkest color of ink.
Here I was able to alter the look of the leaf stamp by inking only a part of the image
and then curving the photopolymer on my second inked pass. Stamp your sentiment.

For less bulk, punch a small circle at the crease of the card and thread your twine through.

Tie off on the front of your card.
