Holiday Card Featuring Stamped Background

Hi All,

I’m back to share another card featuring a technique from Merry Making. It’s is a very simple technique that is simple to do, but it is more focusing on the overall aesthetic than the technique.

The technique shared featured a layered stamp image that crosses over solid white score lines.

I wanted to give this a try, but I put a bit of a twist on mine. I went with an outline stamp from Concord & 9th and colored it in with my pencils.

I used several different hues to achieve this look. I also made sure to keep my strokes in the same direction so that you could see the veins of each petal.

Here’s a closer look.

Yesterday's #whatsonmydesk for #occmerrymaking was some Christmas florals using pencils and score lines. 🖌

To finish off the card I added another layer of cardstock trimmed at the opposite angle and a simple holiday sentiment.
