Today I wanted to share a fun challenge with you...the Club Scrap Artist Team was challenged to stamp a frame on our project. Well I decided to share 3 different ideas for stamped frames on cards that I like to use from time to time.
My first card is pretty straight forward... I penciled on stamping lines then stamped the flowers over the lines. After the ink had a chance to dry I erased all of the pencil marks and colored the flowers with a variety of colored pencils. Glitter was added here and there for a bit of bling.
The next frame was stamped using many different stamps and ink colors. This technique creates more interest and gets your eyes moving over the entire card.
The final stamped frame technique is a bit different. I cut the card panel to the approximate size I wanted then centered a mask on the card panel. I stamped my image on the exposed areas of the panel and I also used a sponge dauber to ink around the very edges of the mask. Once the mask is removed you have a lovely stamped frame on the card panel! I finished it off with the sweet sentiment, a few stickers, glitter and twine.
While it does take a bit more time to create this frame the finished results are very much worth it I think don't you?
I hope you've been inspired to stamp your own frame on a card but just in case there's lots more inspiration to be found in this team challenge - Club Scrap Artist Team Challenge - Frames.
The next stop on the hop is...

Roni, your stamped frames are absolutely beautiful! And the 3rd idea I need to try.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely set of cards!
Creative and beautiful frames. It is hard to pick a favorite. I like the third one just because of the technique you used.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty cards and I really like all the sayings. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteRoni love all three cards you've made, and love how each one is done differently. Beautiful job with the frame challenge 🙂 All 3 are gorgeous!

Gosh Roni, these are just awesome! The variety of stamps you used in each frame makes them so appealing. I just love how you mixed it up on the second card. Such great ideas you've shared today! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove all three versions of your stamped frames. (I think if I had to pick a fave, tho, it would be the Adirondacks...it came out so cute!)
ReplyDeleteRoni, these are all great, but I love what you did with the inking and mask technique, so much depth.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas here for frames - why didn't I ever think to pencil in a line?
ReplyDeleteThat inky frame is spectacular, Roni! And you used my all-time favorite CS kit! Great job all around! (Pun intended!)
ReplyDeleteRoni I just love how you created the frame element with darker ink application in the middle! I must try that out!

I love the first card with the flower frame. Great idea with penciling in where the flowers should be stamped.
ReplyDeleteYour framed cards are awesome!
ReplyDeleteAwesome cards! I love the use of the smaller stamps to create a frame. Sometimes I just don't know what to do with those little guys.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Roni! Love the last one with the cherry blossoms stamp-the darker shading is awesome! Love it!
