Welcome to our June Blog Waddle! We are featuring Techniques!!

I picked the Two-Tone Flora stamp set (#160844) for my card. The card base is Melon Mambo and I created an alternate card base in Granny Apple Green. Which one do you like best?

My technique is the Faux Tile technique. Using your scoring blade on your trimmer, score a grid of lines; mine are 1″ apart on a 4″ x 5″ piece of Basic White. I used the small end on my stylus for one card and the larger end on the other card. My last picture shows the differences in size.

I found I needed to stamp with very little pressure to not fill in the grid lines for the tiles. I stamped the flowers in Melon Mambo, Highland Heater, Calypso Coral, and Daffodil Delight. The flowers were stamped off and the detail stamp was fully inked.d The leaves are stamped in Granny Apple Green. The sentiment is from Cheerful Daisies (#161290).

Comparison of the large and small stylus ends.
