STRIPES, DOTS & PRETTY FLORALS

There are two different techniques that you can use to create the Stripes & Dots background for this card.

Technique I used

If you have a Stamp Positioner Tool like Stampin' Up!'s retired Stamparatus, or a Misti Stamping Tool you can create the background as follows:

1. Place all 4 stamps on the stamp positioner place directly next to each other.
2. Mask the stamp leaving only the section uncovered that you are going to stamp.
3. Ink that top section with Bubble Bath ink.
4. Remove the mask and stamp the top section on Basic White cardstock.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for the 3 remaining sections using Pretty Peacock ink on the 2nd on bottom sections and Berry Burst ink on the 3rd from the top section.
6. Now that your complete image is stamped, leave your cardstock and stamp in position on the positioning tool.  Clean the stamp well and ink with VersaMark ink.
7. Use an embossing buddy on the stamped image.
8. Stamp the complete image with VersaMark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

If you do not have a Stamp Positioning Tool, use this Alternative Method: 

• Use the Colored Embossing Technique by stamping and completing each section individually.

If you are not familiar with this Technique here is a video demonstrating how to do it.

Either method will provide the same effect.  Use the tools you have and the process you prefer.

For the focal point I die cut a circle with a Stylish Shapes die and then in keeping with the Stripes and Dots theme I embossed it with the Dotted Circles embossing folder.

The flowers were created with the Pretty Florals Bundle using the same colors as the stripes and dots background.  The sentiment is from The Right Words stamp set.

On the inside of the card and the envelope I stamped a narrow border mimicking the card front -- except I did not heat emboss the stamped images.
