Multi-Colored Painted Pheasant!


I included a technique card at my most recent Stamp Camp. This is the 3rd card I am showing you this week from my class and this one uses the Painted Pheasant stamp set. Notice how the pheasant is “painted” in three colors?

This is easier to achieve than it may look. Always start with a light color and add darker colors as layers. Here are the steps to my card:
- Card Base: Crumb Cake Cardstock 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. Score and fold at 4-1/4″. Stamp the small flower image repeatedly at the bottom using Crumb Cake Ink.
- Layer #2: Basic White Cardstock 5″ x 3″. Follow these steps for the pheasant:
- Ink the pheasant image using the Crumb Cake Ink. Flip the stamp image facing upwards for the next two steps.
- Using a Sponge Dauber, add Bermuda Bay Ink on top of the Crumb Cake Ink along the head and the back tail feathers.
- Using a Sponge Dauber, add Early Espresso Ink on top of the Crumb Cake Ink along the outside of the body and the feet.
- Stamp the image in the center of the white layer and set aside.
- Layer #3: Gingham Cottage Designer Paper 5″ x 3/4″. Glue the designer paper to the bottom of the white layer from the back. Set aside.
- Twine: Wrap the twine around the white layer twice and tie into a bow. Glue layer to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Sentiment: Stamp the sentiment on Bermuda Bay Cardstock using Early Espresso Ink. Cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies that measures 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″. Glue to the bottom left over the twine with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Bling: Add Champagne Rhinestone Jewels to the background.
