Fall Flourishes Three Ways

ErikaGeneral 1 Comment

The Fall Flourishes Stamp Set is full of beautiful fall foliage and is perfect for adding a little seasonal charm to your cards. Today, we're sharing three ways to use these lovely images!

1. Stamp & Color

Keep it classic! Stamp your favorite Fall Flourishes images and bring them to life with your favorite markers or paint for a watercolor technique. Add as much or as little detail as you'd like for a look that's uniquely yours.

2. Watercolor Background

Create a beautiful watercolor background using your favorite CP Inks, then stamp and die cut your Fall Flourishes images and layer them over top. The soft, colorful background creates a gorgeous backdrop and lets your stamped images really shine.

3. Mask & Ink Blend

For a bold, eye-catching look, use masking and ink blending to create your background first. Then stamp your Fall Flourishes image over the blended area. This technique adds depth and creates a beautiful focal point for your card!

Bonus Idea: Stamp Your Own Background

Use the back of a stamp to add a wash of color, or reach for a large solid geometric image, like the Bold Bits & Patterns Stamp Set, to stamp a colorful background. Then stamp your Fall Flourishes images right over top for an easy layered look with lots of interest!

Which technique will you try first? We can't wait to see how you use Fall Flourishes in your fall cardmaking!

One Stamp Set Three Ways!!

Ilina Crouse

The Life's Better with Sprinkles Stamp Set features adorable ice cream-themed illustrated sentiments that are as fun to color as they are to use! Fill them in with your favorite ink colors, markers, or pencils—or leave them uncolored for a clean and simple look. Let's take a look at a few sweet ways to use these playful sentiments on your projects.

Create a Focal Point

One of the easiest ways to use these illustrated sentiments is as the focal point of your card. Their bold size and whimsical details make them stand out on their own, creating a fun design with minimal effort. Add a simple frame, a few embellishments, and you're ready to send a smile.

Erika Post

Build a Background

This card takes a different approach by turning one of the illustrated sentiments into a custom background element. Simply stamp the sentiment multiple times across a strip of cardstock, then blend ink over the top to add vibrant color and tie the design together. There's no need to color in the individual images…just add color with ink blending for a quick and creative look!

Ilina Crouse

Layer Up!

These illustrated sentiments also look fantastic layered over die-cut images. Placed over this ice cream sundae, the illustrated sentiment adds dimension and visual interest to your card designs.

Lisa Harrolle

You're going to love adding these illustrated sentiments to your cards, but the fun doesn't stop there! They're also perfect for scrapbook layouts, journal pages, gift tags, and more. We can't wait to see all the creative ways you use your Life's Better with Sprinkles Stamp Set! Shop this stamp set and more from the Collection!
