Hello, friends! This is Maryám and today I’m going to be sharing some ideas on how to use the Beauty Within Stamp Set. This 6 x 8 stamp set features three gorgeous anemones along with a couple of large branches of leaves perfect for coloring, plus nine inspiring sentiments. In addition, there is also a coordinating die available and an awesome Coloring Stencil Set!
First Project “Family” – Scrapbook Layout
How-To:
To create my layout, I started by stamping a bunch of flowers and leaves from the Beauty Within Stamp Set onto a sheet of white cardstock. For this, I used an acrylic block and the Obsidian Pigment Ink.
Next, it was time to color the images I had just stamped. One of my favorite things about this particular stamp set is that it has a matching coloring stencil set available which provides a base for adding color to the images. To use these stencils you just need some of your favorite inks + and an ink blending tool.
For my flowers, I decided to use the new Mixed Media Inks in the following colors from light to dark- Frosty Pink, Coral Berry, and Grapevine. For the leaves, I repeated the same process as before but used Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades. Quick Tip- if you are unsure and don’t know how to use these stencils you can follow this layering guide here.
After I finished with the coloring part I grabbed the coordinating die set and my Mini Blossom Die Cutting Machine and cut all the pieces. Continuing with the process, I grabbed my Square Weave Pattern Stencil, inked it up using Frayed Leaf Mixed Media Ink, and created a background to imitate pattern paper.
Following up, I positioned my flowers and leaves towards the bottom part of the page creating a gorgeous cluster. After I adhered all the elements of the cluster in place, I added my photo, title, and journaling to complete the page.
And lastly, in case you are wondering, for the title I decided to go with the word “Family” and use one of my all-time favorite alpha set-Simple Alpha Die Set-to spell out the word.
Second Project “You Are Incredible” – Card
For my second project of the day, I wanted to try something different, so I created an A2-sized top-folding card. I started by stamping one of the anemones + some leaves onto white cardstock again using my favorite black ink- the Obsidian Pigment Ink.
Now, to color the images, I decided to use the Coloring Stencil Set once again, but this time the inks that I used were from the Summer Afternoon Set (Warm Sunshine, Buttercream, Caramel Toffee, Paper Bag). And for the leaves, I used Bamboo, Parrot, and Olive all from the Tropical Forest Set. Last, but not least, for the sentiment of my card I used “You are incredible” from the same stamp set.
Third Project “You Make Me Smile” – Card
My last example is also an A2-sized top-folding card. Now this time, I decided to go a little bit messy and use some watercolors. To begin, I heat embossed some leaf images onto watercolor paper with Antique Gold Embossing Powder. Next, I took some of the watercolor brush markers from the Tropical Fiesta Set and did a quick coloring with different colors on the leaves.
Next, I took my spray bottle and sprayed some water in the area I painted before to blend the colors in a better way and also cover all the white spaces in between. In the end, I stamped the sentiment of the card in black onto a white sheet of cardstock, added some metallic thread for extra texture, and also enamel dots and sequins to finish up my design.
I hope you liked these ideas and I inspired you to create something new! If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below and I’ll be really happy to answer them.
