Adding "Rain" to your Card - Blue Knight Rubber Stamps

Hello and Welcome to my Blog! I am so excited today to be back again with another beautiful stamp from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. I made two cards from the "Take Shelter" stamp set. This is a brand new stamp set that is part of the September 2020 release.  

I created a video on my You Tube Channel that details how I made the card:

To create this card, I followed these steps:

1. Cut a piece of Bristol Smooth paper to size 4" x 5.25" 

2. Using the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Cloud Stencil, and gray Pastels, I created the cloud background. I used Paynes Gray, Neutral Gray and Neutral Gray tint. 

3. Using the rolling hills on the cloud stencil, and black PanPastels, I created a little hill for the image to be stamped upon (grounding the image).

4. Using my stamp positioning tool, I stamped the image with Versafine Claire Nocturne Ink. I re-stamped the image a few times to get the desired depth of color. 

5. I used Nuvo Crystal Glaze to create the rain on card panel. I did this by making flicking motions at an angle. Using Krylon Mat sealant, I sprayed the panel to seal in the the PanPastels. 

6. I finished the card by rounding the top corners with my corner rounded. I then adhered the panel at a black mat and a white card base with Art Glitter Glue.

My second card, features a combination of two Blue Knight Rubber Stamps, both the Take Shelter Stamp and the Covered Bridge Stamp.

To create this card, I used my stamp positioning tool to stamp the smaller of the two silhouettes in the Take Shelter stamp set on to piece of 4.25" x 5.5" Neenah Solar White 100 lb card stock. I stamped the same image onto a piece of masking paper and fussy cut the imagine.  I covered the image on my card stock with the masking paper image and then stamped the Covered Bridge stamp with Brutus Monroe Raven Detail Ink. This ink is alcohol marker friendly.  I left my stamp in the stamp positioning tool so that I could double stamp the Take Shelter image at the end of my process. I colored the Covered Bridge Stamped Image with alcohol markers, then returned my card panel to my stamp positioning tool when I stamped it again, using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink to get a dark impression. I then trimmed .25" off all four sides of the panel and matted the panel onto a piece of red card stock then adhered the finished project to a white A2 card base.
