Depth of Field?

Ok I know my Title is confusing.....and I will post a picture of the inspiration card at the end of this post....but here is the story.  Someone on the Stampin' Up Demo sight posted a card and asked what Technique was used.  And as always very helpful Demonstrators answered the question!!  I am so lucky to have the resource of 1,000's of Demos to ask questions!!  Join my Team for $99 and enjoy this benefit!

Here is my card:


LOVE the Depth and Texture with this Technique!

I used Abstract Impressions, Great Flower images for RANDOM stamping.  I did the entire card front today and added to a Grapefruit Grove card base.  I added the Dotted Ribbon and 1/8 Grapefruit Grove ribbon, then Popped up a sentiment.  These backgrounds would be great to have on hand to add a Sentiment for ANY Occasion!  I used Petal Pink , Flirty Flamingo and Grapefruit Grove.  I did full strength and stamped off so it appears to be 5 colors, but is really only 3.



Can you SEE what the Technique is now?  Really pretty simple, you pick a stamp you can "Random" stamp with, 3-4 ink colors and get to stamping!  Start with the Lightest ink color FIRST and then move on to the next darkest, saving the darkest for last.  This is what creates the DEPTH of Your FIELD of stamping!!  WOW, I think I like this and will go crazy for a day or TWO.  I LOVE when a OLD Technique seems new and the creatives juices begin to flow!

And I invite you to give this a try also.  If you want send me a pic of your creation and I can share everyone's cards in my Blog Post next Tuesday.  In fact I am going to try and focus on a Technique or Theme each Tuesday and then follow up the next Tuesday with YOUR Creations to help INSPIRE all my followers.  Are you IN?  I hope so, I want to share what I LOVE to do and have you share also!
