Hi! Cornelia here with a preview on one of the sets in the January release. I played with the A Girl and Her Shoes set. It's in the store already and you can grab it, before it sells out.

I first stamped two of the shoes in alternating pattern as a background.
I then took the large solid shoe, stamping it on white card stock and lining up my Stamp-a-majig, since I wanted to get a good black impression and in my experience you have to at least stamp twice, sometimes even three times.
Here you see the first impression:
And below is after the second stamping - it makes a huge difference. Nice, solid black.
Added the sentiment in red - also inked it up twice. It is really important to not move the Stamp-a-majig, or the paper for that matter, otherwise your image will be blurry....
I trimmed and glued the above panel onto red card stock and mounted it with foam tape. I also added some very light shading with a light grey Copic marker to the shoes. It does not really show in the picture, but it made a difference in real life. the shoes just get more dimension that way. I could not resist and added a single tiny red gem.

Now, which pair is your favorite?

kleiner tipp; das doppelt stempeln spare ich mir dadurch das ich vor der schwarzen Tinte versamark transparent auf die PPstempel gebe - versuche es mal klappt bei mir bestens
Great idea to use this set for the background! Love the added gem on the shoe.
ReplyDeleteCute set!
ReplyDeleteOh my...I need those shoes..in my wardrobe. Now! Your shoe-background is wonderfully eye-catching and the star-of-the-shoe, crisply stamped, is gorgeous! The gem adds such impact. Yep...love this oodles!
