{Spotlight Project} Vicki Shares Some Stamping Basics

Hi everyone - it's Vicki here. Today while I make a card, I'll show some hints to lining up images. Here is my finished card:

First hint: When starting my card, I use a lined acrylic block and lined the center of the arrow tips on the line.

Second hint: Using some graph paper [I got a tablet of these at WM for like $3], I aligned the card base against the lines on my graph paper and taped it down. When I go to stamp, I use the line from the acrylic pad against the line of the graph paper to ensure straight stamping. Using the graph paper lines also will give me equal spacing between the line of arrows.

Last hint: I stamped the boxed daisy and then using removable tape, I taped around the edges. Since this is a one layer card, this will stop the colors from going outside the "box".

And here's the finished card again, with the finishing of the sentiment, enamel dots and twine.

I don't know about you all, but I struggle with stamping straight. I hope these hints I have shared with you will help you to keep it straight!

See you in a couple of weeks!
