Adding Accents to an All Occasion Card Using Rubber Stamps

Video Transcript

" Hi I am Shelly Cordsen with Expert Village.com. We are finishing our note card. We have it all stamped. I have glued it onto the green. I have taken our verse, which says “if I know love what love is it is because of you,” very good card. Okay, we are going to add accents. I have some flowers here made out of paper. I am going to put them right there, but I do want punch a hole first, which will make my brad go in easier and I have a brad here, you can get them in all sizes, shapes, colors and stick it through the center of these flowers through this hole I have punched in here, open it out and now we are going to glue it with our double-sided tape onto our note card. We have now finished a card but if we want to further just make that pop out, take a legacy pen, gel pen, just a very fine point pen and you can just start accenting, just putting some little marks in here and there with your pen and as you can see on our sample it really pops out the flowers and gives it a little bit more definition. Now, I want to take a simple pencil. I am going to take this yellow here I am going to stick my pencil eraser in the ink and I am just going to add some color to the center of these flowers and then I am going to just do a little bit on this yellow here, just to give it a little color dimension. There is so much you can do and go on and on. You can even outline things with Squigley’s and little dots. You can get things to make it look it you stitched and sewed it on. Then again we are accenting to your stem, just kind of throw in just a little bit of black in there to accent and then you are done. But don’t forget to stamp your envelope. You just got to add that little bit a punch and we will just punch one more yellow dot in there and we are done. "
