A Preview of Stampin’ Up! Picture Perfect

Stampin Up Mary Fish Picture Perfect Thank You Card Pinterest

Watercoloring “phobics” rejoice . . . the Stampin’ Up! Picture Perfect photopolymer stamp set is for you (and me . . . and everyone else)!

Pals Paper Arts Challenge PPA281

I used this week’s Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge (PPA281) to kick start my design.  See what the rest of the PPA Design Team has created with this sketch here.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

  • Sneak Peek Picture Perfect.  The simple layering of coordinating stamps creates beautiful, shaded images that mimic the artistic beauty of watercoloring.  My kind of “watercoloring!”

  • To create the hummingbird, I layered Smoky Slate, Basic Gray and Calypso Coral.
  • Practice layering on scratch paper first to make sure your color combinations stay soft and you master alignment.  Start with lighter colors.

  • I used the “eye” of the hummingbird as one of my guides.

  • Sneak Peek!  Not so easy to see in the photo but stunning sparkle in person.  I dotted the hummingbird with the Clear Wink of Stella brush for a WOW! factor.
  • My Stampin’ Pretty Color Mix to save or pin to Pinterest.

  5. Mary you amaze me! Love the colors! I just went through some old store bought cards two days ago and found this color combination and saved the card so I could use it for inspiration! We think alike on many things.

  6. Thanks, Brian & Kadie. I had to experiment a bit to get the colors to layer well. The key is keeping the first hummingbird layers (steps 1 and 3) soft. Step 2 is the throat in Calypso Coral so that was “full strength.”
