Happy Monday! To kick off the week on a happy note, I am super excited to join a very fun video hop and share a project with you. My dear crafty friend Laura just reached 10K subscription on her youtube channel as we are celebrating along with her! There are amazing video tutorials and giveaways, so make sure to stay tuned till the end of the post!
For today’s project, I wanted to go out of my regular color styles and do something vintage and simple. I also wanted to show a way where a basic black ink pad can be used more than just to stamp outlined images and sentiments for projects.
Don’t you just LOVE how lovely this card looks? I mixed and matched couple different colors to work with the black ink pad I used.
In this card, I used 2nd and 3rd generation stamping techniques to get various shades from just the black color. This is a great way to get more use out of any ink pads you have on hand. If you never tried it, I highly recommend giving a try!!
For the sentiment, I used the Label Love stamp set from Altenew and heat set it with gold embossing. I thought the gold color would go well with the black and other dark colors used on this card.
Make sure to watch the video tutorial above to see how the whole card comes together!
