Stamp Review Crew: Hello Lovely Edition

Welcome!  This is my first time joining the Stamp Review Crew!   Every first and third Monday of the month the Stamp Review Crew will host a blog hop featuring ideas for one Stampin' Up stamp set.  Our stamp set today is the delicate Hello, Lovely set.  I will be showing you the digital version.

First is an 8" X 10" framed project.  Someday,  my husband and I hope to restore a classic 1960's cruiser.  I love the colors of this one we saw at the Gilmore Car Car Museum in Hickory Corners,  Michigan.

 

To do this type of background with traditional stamps would have required time and patience (neither of which I have much of!)  to align and ink each stamp but with My Digital Studio I was able to copy, paste and align the images pretty quickly and definitely more accurately.  I also used the coloring tool to color portions of the frame.

To make the card for my next project,  I superimposed these two stamp images of the same color on top of each other.  

Each stamp has a Very Vanilla drop shadow (offset: X-0, Y-0  Blur: 5  Opacity: 70%) to distinguish the edges and give a unique effect.  The side images are stamped with Very Vanilla (40% opacity).

 Both projects were printed on Whisper White cardstock.  The following colors were used.

Framed project: Coastal Cabana, Sahara Sand, Crisp Cantaloupe, Early Espresso

Card: Backgound- Not Quite Navy  Stamps- Midnight Muse, Very Vanilla

Card was mounted on a Midnight Muse card base.

Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to join us in two weeks for another hop!  

Now it is time to hop along either forward to Kerry's blog or backward to Dawn's blog.  We are permanently linked together so you can enjoy the hop at any time!
