Creating Cards With Eclectic Garden
Eclectic Garden is an all-occasion, nature-inspired photopolymer stamp set. This Two-Step Stampin’ set allows you to layer two or more images to create one final image with extra texture and dimension in the colors you want. Or, if you prefer, use a coloring technique of your choice like the Stampin’ Blends that I chose. If you are not familiar with the Stampin’ Blends or how to use them – CLICK HERE
Seeing that the images (bird, berries, turnips, or a flower), in Eclectic Garden, are simple, they are perfect for layering on a detailed background like this Soft Succulent background created with Blending Brushes, Soft Succulent ink, and a Decorative Mask. In addition, Decorative Masks are wonderful tools for adding textured backgrounds to your cards with embossing paste.
