The Artful Stampers Blog Hop Challenge #70

Hi Everyone, 

If you have hopped on over from Anna's Blog welcome!

This week we have a sketch to work with: 

So this week I thought I would try something new, can you believe it, I have never tried triple time stamping? I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try give it a go as this sketch reminds me of it so much! If you Google triple time stamping, when you look at all the images, 99% of the layers are centered, but with this sketch I pushed everything to the left, to create a different look and here is the end result: 

I'm happy with the end result, and definitely will be revisiting this technique in the future, and for my first time i'm pretty impressed. 

Now I had a slight mishap with the Wink of Stella on the card base, before today I had only ever used it on White, so hadn't paid much attention to the colour, or the lid. So today when I used it on the butterfly and card base, It looked like it had 'bleached' the card stock, but paying attention to the lid and some posts in a Facebook group I belong too, I realise that there was batch that had the wrong colour and in fact it is supposed to be clear like it says in the catalouge. So if you have purchased Wink of Stella in clear, be sure to check the colour.

I don't mind the look it gave, but would have preferred it to be clear and shimmery. 

Here is the breakdown of products used: 

and the measurements:

Kathryn's Tips: 

Tip #1 - Make sure you press harder than normal to stamp on all the layers 

Tip #2 - Attach the layers temporary together with some snail to ensure they don't move about when stamping 

Tip #3 - Cut a dimensional in half and stack them on top of each other, to pop the layer up even more 

Tip #4 - Give stamping on an unusual shape a go

Tip # 5 - Tie the ribbon around the last layer before attaching to card 

As always I hope I have inspired you try something new, like I have. Now it is time to hop along to Jane's Blog and see what she has been up to!
