I tried something new in today's post. I created patterned paper with my totally clear photopolymer stamps. My inspiration came from Stampin' Up!'s new Photopolymer Stamps Video. Take a look and you'll see Stampin' Up's version of this card.
I used the photopolymer Designer Typeset stamp set, and with the flagged banner stamp, I was able to easily duplicate the pattern illustrated in the video. You can see exactly where you're stamping, and…it's fun!
Design Tip Review: In this card, I again used my imaginary grid to place my elements (The Rule of Thirds). My Sweet Spot includes three clustered elements (the embellished flower, the circle, and the arrow).
Although there is no sentiment (by design), my Sweet Spot is on an imaginary intersection in my card design composition, and includes my Focal Point.
The Melon Mambo flagged banner at the top of the card is simply doing a bit of a balancing act…adding balance to the card composition and color, and it's also placed on a segment of my imaginary tic tac toe grid.
For my color choices, I followed Stampin' Up!'s Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Paper color combinations: Basic Gray, Melon Mambo and Lucky Limeade. The Designer Series Paper always gives my creativity a jolt!
Stampin' Up! just came out with another photopolymer stamp set called Bombs Away Birthday. The sentiments are humorous, catchy, and cute!
