Hello my crafty friend and welcome to Episode One of my May Stamp Set of the Month Series.
This month I am featuring the Rainbow Turnabout stamp set by Concord & 9th. I am a huge turnabout fan. A background stamp that you can stamp in multiple colors, it's just awesome! So, when they came out with a rainbow turnabout, I was giddy!
Episode One is Bright vs. Pastel! I love bright colors so I knew I would be inking this goody up with the brightest I have, but I thought it would also look good in pastels. So, I am doing both! Brights VS Pastels! Who will win? You be the judge.
You are going to want to watch the video so you can see the making of the backgrounds and the inks I used. Watch it right here:
Now let's take a closer look at each card.
The is the first of the bright cards. I used Altenew inks for all my stamping. They sell their inks in sets of four colors that are the same, like 4 reds that range in shades. I love that, it's great for stamp layering and turnabout stamping too. Because for my pastel card I took the lightest shades of the same bright inks I used for this card!
Also, on each of the cards, I incorporated the Sew Happy die set from Concord & 9th and added stitched elements. Like this hello in rainbow colors.
The thread I used is also from Concord & 9th, the kit they have has great colors in it!
Here is the first pastel card.
Loving how the pastel came out, more than I thought I would. It's just so happy!
Love how the stitched diamond looks on this card, the perfect frame for the tiny sentiment. All the sentiments I used are from the Rainbow Turnabout set.
Next up is the second bright card.
For this card I switched up my inks a little bit. I skipped orange and used a teal color. I love how it turned out! I like that the teal in the rainbow matches the teal clouds. It really helps to tie it all together.
I am so in love with this hello with the ombre effect, using 3 different threads from the Concord & 9th pack.
Next us we have our last card and the second pastel card.
For this card I used thread I had on hand as it more closely matched this fun colors in this background.
Each of these cards has their own look and feel with the different colors. Do you have a favorite? I love them all and had such a fun time making them. I even got my daughter stitching!
Be sure to tune in on Tuesday for episode 2 with this Rainbow Turnabout stamp set!
