Hi there
The Happiest Day stamp set on page 99 of the Annual Catalogue is a stand alone set meaning there are no coordinating dies or punches. Thankfully the images are easy to fussy cut to give the same effect.
It has a mix of images and sentiments to create fun projects. My favourite image is the Dragonfly. Combine the outline stamp with the separate ‘wing’ stamps to create dragonflies of all colours.
The Regal colour family is one that I don’t use that often so I challenged myself to use at least one colour for this project. Our Colour Coach comes in handy to select colour combo but I also like to use the My Create Ink website. I started with Gorgeous Grape and it suggested I use Pretty Peacock, Berry Burst, Blueberry Bushel and Daffodil Delight.
Have you tried the ‘stamping off’ technique to make your colours go further? This technique is great when you want to shades of the one colour. Stamp the image in full strength ink then stamp again to get a lighter shade. That is how I created my two tone dragonflies.
The Happiest Day set is on the Last Chance List – so don’t miss out getting this great stamp and with FREE shipping from tomorrow (23 April) until Friday 25 April – what are you waiting for.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this project.
Until next time …
