I CASE'd this card from the Idea Book & Catalogue when I had a creative-block about three-weeks ago. Since then I have made quite a few cards with this stamp set and my creative-block is gone! Check out the stamp set and the original card on page 81.

Here is a second card that I made in the same colours and style. This time it is a smaller note-card that I sent to a friend who was having some troubles at her work...

The depth in these cards is created by using a stamping-off technique, where you ink up your stamp, stamp off once or twice on scrap paper, before stamping on your card. By doing this you get lighter images in the "background", but in the same colour as those in the "foreground". I also used masking and dimensionals to create added depth.

We used the stamping-off technique on the Delightful Decorations Christmas card we made at the November workshops...

For this card we used the stamping-off technique with two colours (Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive) to create the feeling of depth in the card.
