It is Friday! Happy Fri-YAY everyone! What does that mean is for the blog? – Tips, Tricks, and Techniques. Today I have an Illusion Trick to give the look of multiple layers on a card. This week we focused on the Peaceful Deer Bundle from the July–December 2021 Mini Catalog.
The card above is made with only one layer of cardstock. I will be showing you an illusion trick where I will show you how to make this card. I will be ink blending and then overstamping to give the illusion of multiple layers on a card. It is such a simple trick and pretty with solid images as I created above. Let’s begin.
The above picture shows the products and stamps I used to make the Illusion Trick card.
- First start by masking off a portion of the card front with two large post it notes.
- Using blending brushes, blend the colors you want to use onto the cardstock to get your area prepped for your images.
- Keep blending until you are happy with the amount of ink and look you wish to achieve.
- Stamp the solid images first. If you want to put a splatter dots on it to bleed the ink do it now.
- I used a small paintbrush with water on it to add splatter dots to my night sky.
- Next I stamped the other two images. These were not solid.
- I also stamped a small line stamp to notate the ground below the deer and bunny.
- Using a Stampin’ Write Marker in Basic Black, color in the line images to make them look as if they are solid.
- I colored each image a few times to get it as dark as I wanted.
- I even went over the solid trees to make them more black.
- Peel off both of the post it notes.
- You are left with a card that looks like it is multiple layers.
Here are some close-ups below.
