Welcome to the September 2020 Technique Blog Hop! I’m so excited to be part of this fun collaboration with fellow demonstrators. This month’s technique is clear block stamping. I can’t wait to show you my project!
I decided to try to make a nighttime sky background for my owl. I inked up a clear block (size D) with Misty Moonlight, then spritzed it with some water before applying to Whisper White Thick Cardstock. I’m making it sound a littler easier than it was — it took a few attempts to get the amount of water right to get the effect I was looking for.
After my cardstock dried, I trimmed off the white edges and rounded the corners. I then stamped the owl twice, once directly onto my clear-block-stamped piece, and then again to die cut the owl and spider.
I colored the branches with the Bronze Stampin’ Blend marker, and the owl and spider with the Grey Granite set and the Light Pumpkin Pie. I used Dimensionals to pop up the owl and spider. For the spider I cut a Mini Dimensional in half.
When assembling the card, I added a cobweb die cut from the Black Glitter Paper. It is held down with some SEAL adhesive on the Designer Series Paper with spiders and a Dimensional behind the Misty Moonlight panel.
