MIRROR IMAGE CARDMAKING TECHNIQUE ♥ WETLANDS STAMP SET FROM STAMPIN UP
January 28, 2015
Hello lovely crafters, I want to share with you some card making techniques today and a card I have designed using
Wetlands Stamp Set by Stampin' Up!
Geese are loyal mates for
life and I thought this would be an ideal theme for sharing inspirational
messages about friendship, leadership and team work. I really enjoyed making
this project because my aim was to apply different techniques in one single
card and this clever stamp set gave me that opportunity.
I enjoy nature and how can I not be in love with nature themed cards when I'm living in the Scottish Highlands? It is a place bursting to the seams with stunning and magical scenery. I think that making cards that remind us of the beauty of our world is worth more than a million words.
Bearing this in mind, when I saw this stamp set in the Stampin' Up! 2014-2015 Catalog I knew I had to have it. I love the high definition image, the stunning typography, the fact that it matches perfectly with watercolour techniques and I can give to my projects the look and feel of a small painting. I'm just overwhelmed with the endless possibilities for designing stationery products with this stamp set.
I have copied part of the speech “5 Lessons from Geese” by Angeles Arrien, and I have added the beautiful message in the inside of the card as show in thepictures.
