My Sweet Petunia Blog Hop Featuring Picket Fence Studio

Welcome to the My Sweet Petunia Blog Hop featuring Picket Fence Studios products.

For those of you who don't know, My Sweet Petunia is the maker of the fabulous stamp positioning tool, MISTI which stands for Most Incredible Stamping Tool Invented! 

 

For my projects today I tried the shadow and reflection technique with the MISTI.  I am not much of a technique stamper but I use my MISTI for positioning stamps every single day.  Techniques?  Not so much...but I gave it a good shot with these two projects. 

This is supposed to be ballerinas practicing in front of a mirror.  I came close but I have no idea how to color a mirror in my copic coloring yet. *Ü*  And, let's just say there are a few other mistakes on here but overall it is a really cute card.

I chose BFF Ballerina Friends stamp set and dies and here is how I created this card.

I started by first stamping the ballerinas on the card front using the MISTI for placement.  Then I stamped a set of them on Post-It notes and cut them out to use for masking.  I covered up the ballerinas with the Post it Notes and stamped a second set of ballerinas slightly to the right of each one. The MISTI is a must for this step!

I hand drew the balance bar on the cardstock to visually separate the ballerinas from their reflections and started coloring it in.  I then stamped a third set of ballerinas and colored them with Copic markers. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and placed foam tape on the backs of each one.

Final step was to line up the sentiment in the MISTI and stamp it on the bottom of the card.  Then I placed the ballerinas on so they were popped up a little bit.

My second card is the shadowing technique and I chose the Watercolor Trees and Bushes stamp set.

I started with a Distress Oxide blended background of Antique Linen, Speckled Egg and Black Soot.

I first stamped the ground cover in gray.  I left the stamp in the MISTI and sponged a little bit of black on the stamp and stamped again.  Then I stamped the trees in gray.  Slid the paper over a bit and stamped again in black which made the gray look like the shadow.

Last step was to position the sentiment in the MISTI.  Make sure it was lined up with the grid and stamp it in black.

This one was a lot less labor intensive than the ballerinas!
