Keep On Swimming!

Hi, I am thrilled to share a fun card on the My Sweet Petunia blog today! 

I created this summery underwater card by first inking a 6x6 background stamp in three shades of blue ink. With background stamps, I like to use the Sticky Mat to hold the cardstock in place about a 1/8th of an inch from the inside edge of the MISTI.  This allows for a complete image plus the image can be stamped multiple times without fear of the paper moving.  For me, a MISTI is a must when using background stamps for complete inked perfection!

Next, I placed all of the images on the MISTI lid and stamped them at one time. 
 I left the underwater stamps on the New Original MISTI until I was completely done with the project in case I needed to restamp something.   Lastly, I stamped the sentiment directly on the card front with the Mini MISTI.

One more tool to mention is the Cut-Align Ruler.  I use the ruler every time I stamp.  For this card, I used the 0-center marking to make certain that the circle die was in the center of the panel.  I especially love the weight of these rulers along with the fact that it comes in two sizes. 




I hope you are having an amazing summer!  Thanks for stopping by today!
