Alliums in Blueprint
Hello to you all, here we are and October is almost over, how scary is that ?
Today is my last post of the month and although this first sample may look tricky it's not as bad as it seems at first.
Using the Allium Blueprint and a Blue Inkpad of choice, Stazon may be a good choice as it dries very quickly and is unlikely to smudge.
Firstly I cut a square piece of white card 8"x 8" and marked the centre point on the north, south, east and west of the card, align the stamp with the points and stamp the four points and then fill in the gaps, the base of the stamps will overlap slightly but I didn't mind this although I did take the little pieces on either side off the stamp but if you prefer not to just remove the ink carefully with a damp cloth. I have used another blueprint stamp in the centre or you could just as easily replace it with a sentiment.
I mounted the topper onto a square piece of pearlescent card from my stash the same size as my base card. Trim the topper before adding to the base card, I always find this easier if I turn the topper away from me and cut along the matt card.
Simple but perfect card for men who will appreciate the Blueprint detail and it will look good in whatever colour you choose to use.
What fabulous ideas Doreen and I think the circular designs are absolutely wonderful, and then the Allium in those really pretty colours with the blueprint background, and the last which looks like a bookmark which works perfectly with the shape of the the blueprint sketch. x
