For my most recent PURE Color With Kara post, on the WPlus9 Blog, I shared projects on which I stamped text over stamped images. I love the look so much I sort of can't stop. I have another project today and a project ready for next week's PTI Blog Hop where I use the same technique!
Using Post It Tape, I masked off a center rectangle. I stamped floral images from the PTI Graceful Greetings stamp set in several shades of WP9 Dye ink: Sweet Gelato, Little Piggy, Ocean Drive, Falling For Blue, and Last Leaf . I added some black dots from the PTI Over Under Easy stamp set. On top of that, I stamped the 'Hello' sentiment repeatedly to cover the entire area. I start by stamping the center sentiment and then fill in around it to make sure I get one full sentiment as a focal point in the center. I added a secondary sentiment on a banner strip of black cardstock heat embossed in white.
Thanks so much for stopping by today.
I hope you have a great weekend!

YOU ROCK THIS TECHNIQUE!! I love this card. Your colors are stunning and I like how you masked off the white frame. I never get this right and always wind up having to die cut. My frames are never straight when I mask!! I also love the black sentiment block. Okay, I just love this card since I just said it a hundred different times. FABULOUS design!!

ReplyDeleteLove this, Kara! You have such a knack for doing background stamping. Fabulous colors too!
ReplyDeleteWOW, this looks fantastic, Kara!!!! Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!!!!
Really like this idea. I never think to stamp over any stamped images, its almost like they are so precious I'm scared to ruin them. I must try this out as I love the black sentiments with the coloured flowers, they really stand out. Beautiful card, thanks so much for sharing this idea!!!
