Hi everyone! Samantha here with Tuesday Tips and Tricks.
Today, I am going to share THREE cards in the same post, because I want
to show you three examples of how to use the same stamped image!
Generally, there are three "looks" you can achieve with a lined image stamp,
when you are making that image stamp the focal point of your project. With our Copic coloring projects, it is great to have options for making your images more versatile.
On all my cards today, I used the spunky Creeper Crew Madden
from The Greeting Farm. I just love her spunky, rocker attitude!! I had
a lot of fun making these cards and it brought out my inner punk
rocker, lol.
First up: White edge
In the first example, I fussy cut around Madden using an Xacto knife,
but I left a white edge around the image. Sometimes the white edge just
gives your image that "clean" and defined look. Notice my little Madden
doesn't just blend in with that colorful background. The white edge
really makes the image POP off the page.Close up of my coloring. |

2nd: No White
On this image, I fussy cut around the image, except this time, I left NO
white edge. Leaving no white edge allows your stamped image to blend in
with it's surroundings better. I would definitely use this technique if
I was creating a scene on a card. I used this technique on this card
because all of the colors on the card are DARK and I didn't want the
white edge to stand out. Close up of my coloring. |

Finally: No Fuss
And for the rest of the time, when you don't feel like fussy cutting,
there is the plain old simple shaped image! Not every card has to have a
fussy cut image on it. In fact, I think that the squares like this are
perfectly fine. Sometimes you could change it up by using an oval shape
or circle shape. NOTE: I think it is always good to "ground" your image,
by coloring a little bit of shadow or flooring under their feet so they
don't look like they are floating.Close up of my coloring. |

So there ya have it, one image, 3 different ways of using it on your projects.
