MFT Stamps | The Vault is Open!

June 22, 2021

Hello friends! The MFT June Vault Release is now open! There are 14 stamps sets, all illustrated by Birdie Brown, that are being re-released!

I have a fun one-layer card to share with you today featuring the BB Up in the Air Stamp Set. I went with a colorful background to really make this card pop. To start, I first trimmed a piece of regular white card stock to slightly larger than 4.25″ x 5.5″. I then quickly stamped my images where I wanted them to go, overlapping them and re-stamping anything that I wanted to put in a different place. This rough draft (template) is pretty messy but I used it to help line up my images for my actual card. To do this, I then cut a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock to the same size and then lined up my stamps one by one using my template and my MISTI.

I stamped my images in order from what appears in the foreground to images that appear behind the others. I masked each image as I went so that I could get some dimension while still sticking with one layer. Once finished, I masked any image that I had not needed to mask while stamping and then blended my background with a blend of Distress Oxide Inks. I just threw color here and there, trying to get a nice gradient between the colors. For this I used Milled Lavender, Wilted Violet, Salvaged Patina, Cracked Pistachio, and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks. I then splattered this background with some diluted opaque white paint and diluted Wilted Violet Distress Ink for added interest.

Once by background was dry, I then trimmed this piece down to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and adhered it to a 4.25″ x 5.5″ top folding A2 sized card base. I then stamped my sentiment and colored my images with Copic Markers.

Copic Colors Used:

  • Elephant: W00, W1, W3, W5
  • Purples: V000, V01, V04, V15
  • Teals: G000, BG11, BG13, BG49
