Hello my stamping friends. It's time for my last guest design project for Concord & 9th! I have so enjoyed showcasing some of my favorite products and working with C9 for the last four weeks!
This week's projects feature the Tropical Vibes Turnabout stamp set and coordinating die set.
My favorite kind of stamp is a background stamp, so turnabout background stamps make me so giddy! If you are not familiar with Turnabout stamping, it is a background stamp that you can ink up with 4 different colors and stamp a multi-colored background. All this is possible because of the stamp design, a stamp positioning tool and the turning of your paper.
Today I will show you three different ways to turnabout stamp.
First is to use 4 different colors, as I just mentioned. And this is probably my most favorite, I love picking color combinations and watching them come to life as I turn and stamp each new color.
Let's take a look a my first card with this look using the Tropical Vibes Turnabout stamp.
The four colors I used are from Altenew; Hazelnut, Maple Yellow, Rouge, Forest Glades. I love that the Hazelnut ink looks gold when paired with these colors.
The good vibes die cut sentiment and die cut flowers are both from the Tropical Vibes die set. I did some ink blending on whip cream card stock to die cut the flowers from, using the same ink's from the background; Rouge and Maple Yellow. After die cutting them I used a darker color of ink on the edges. In this case I used Altenew's Velvet and Honey Drizzle inks.
For the second card, I stamped the turnabout with 3 colors of ink and then on the 4th stamping, I embossed the images with silver.
The three colors I used are Everglade, Blush and Citrus Burst by Altenew. And I turned this card into a shaker, cause they are my favorite!
The silver shavings are so cool. It's actual silver glass shavings! The background of the shaker is ink blended with Citrus Burst ink. After ink blending I then stamped over it with flowers from the Toucan Paradise stamp set in the same color of ink. It's subtle, but I love the yellow glow behind the sentiment. And don't you LOVE the die cut tropical leaves, also in the Tropical Vibes die set.
For card 3, I did a tonal background, using a gradient of colors; Altenew's Rock Collection: Limestone, Silver Stone, Industrial Diamond, and Pure Graphite.
And I brought in the Toucan from the Toucan Paradise stamp set.I love this card with the subtle background and bright pops of color over it.
I did some more ink blending on this card for the word vibes. I wanted an ombre look for this die cut. I used Coral Berry ink only to get this look.
