Tuesday Tips - Layering Handcut Words for a Multi Colored Message

Don't you just love Stampin' Up's punches?!  How boring our greeting cards would be without them!



Today's card post is one of the cards we will stamp at tomorrow's 7pm June Stamp Camp.  There is still room if you want to attend - text or call me or email asap!

Here's the inside:

So, what is my tip for the week?  There is more than one way to create a multi-colored stamped image.  One of the ways I frequently create an image with more than one color is to color direct to rubber with Stampin' Write markers.  Not today.  Today, I have stamped the image twice, once in Rich Razzleberry classic ink and once in Always Artichoke classic ink.  I then handcut the "heartfelt" words and adhered them directly over the Rich Razzleberry identical words.  Doing this creates not only a dual-colored message, but it also creates texture and dimension. 

Yes, the handcutting can be tedious, but it only takes a minute or two.  It certainly looks nice on this card!
