How you stamp can change the look of a card. You can stretch how far you can make a stamp work by changing the way you
stamp with it. Today I would like to share how you can create
two vintage cards using one stamp and die set.
” Remember This Moment Card” by Cathy McGrath
KC PRODUCTS: PP1060 Whisper Paper Pad, Decorative Dies – DD992 Leafy Stamp and Die Set, DD507 Nesting Circles and DD55 Round Fancy Frame, CD509 Kraft Card Pack Square ,
CD651 Kraft Cardstock, IP751 Chocolate Ink Pad, F628 Honey Paper Bloom, F661 Black Mini Paper Bloom, T321 Craft Glue, T303 Mounting Foam
OTHER: Seam Binding, Versafine Ink, Clear Embossing Powder
To create a monotone card, stamp with a wet ink such as Versamark then heat emboss the image using clear embossing powder. Your image
will have a shine to it yet will not compete with any of your other embellishments. The overall composition will be muted and balanced.

To create a romantic feeling card, using muted inks alters the mood of the card.
Using complimentary inks creates the feeling and cohesion in the overall design. For my card, I selected
Cotton Candy and Smoke ink pads, along with a neutral paper.

I just love these shabby or vitage colours. Very talented artist!

Cathy, love your beautiful cards. Also love your suggestion about using muted colours for the stamps – what a difference it makes. I only bought the stamp set, and have been at a loss as to how to use them, so your post has given me more ideas – thank you so much.
