{Spotlight Project} Cornelia Stamps with Dies



Hi, Cornelia here today showing you how you can stamp with your dies.


My STAMPlorations supplies:

Trendy Flower Dies, Hello Sunshine


I took the dies and die cut them with fun foam.



Used a glue stick and mounted them onto a clear acrylic block.



In the end I settled on the rose die....



Stamped it repeatedly with different color distress ink onto water color paper.
Misted it with water to have the colors blend a bit.



Once it was dry I thought the colors looked a bit too washed out, so I over stamped the roses again with distress inks. Added the die cut sentiment using dark grey card stock.



Added a strip of hot pink card stock on top, some Nuvo drops and rounded the bottom corners.


Now isn't that a cool way to stretch your dies?
