TLC398 - Add a little Dimension

Hello everyone....I hope you are having a great weekend!!!!! We went to Caitlyn's birthday party yesterday...she will be 5 on Tuesday...and she came home with us for the weekend!! Mackenzie was here, too, along with our house guests so we had a spaghetti party last night. The church garage sale was yesterday, too, so I was there at 8:00 AM and stayed busy till I left at noon!!! We had lots of traffic so I hope sales were good!!!  Anyway....

It's my turn  to host the Technique Lover's Challenge on Splitcoast this week and my challenge to you is to add dimension to your design!!! There are lots of ways to accomplish this such as:

1. Layer your stamped images by stamping light colors in the background and a few dark colors in the front
2. Color darker shades for the background close to the main image in the design and blend out to a lighter color
3. Pop up details such as butterflies, leaves, flowers, ferns etc.
4. Add layers or die cuts
5. If you create a scene, make the items in the background look smaller then the ones in the front.

My card features stamps from Rubbernecker's Create a Garden Scene 1....the basket was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and colored with Copics and the grass was colored with two different shades of Copics to add dimension. The stem was stamped with Old Olive and the leaves were stamped with Kiwi Kiss and Old Olive. Punched leaves were popped up which also adds dimension. The daisy flowers in the background were stamped with So Saffron and Marigold Morning...the coral flowers in the front were stamped with Calypso Coral. The punched butterflies, pearls, and twine with button all add dimension and finish it off .

Thanks for stopping by...have a great holiday tomorrow!!!!
