Stampin' Up! Masculine card featuring Bravo and Dotty Angles for SB64

Hello friends. Today I have a masculine card for you based on another of the fabulous Stamping and Blogging sketch challenges. I have used a couple of new Stampin' Up! photopolymer sets Bravo and Dotty Angles.

I'm really impressed with the quality of our Photopolymer stamps. They stamp beautifully. My colours here are Smoky Slate, Real Red and Basic Black. I have clear embossed the Dotty Angles stamp onto the first layer of Smoky Slate cardstock. The main stamped circle is cut out with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch, and one of the Starburst Framelits is a great size to mat this circle.

 

Here is the sketch we had to work with this week for SB64.

 

You are going to be super impressed with all the fabulous creations from the rest of the Stamping and Bloggng Design Team. Check their creations out:

Stampin' Up! Blendabilities Techniques

I've been having a play with the Stampin' Up! Blendabilities, our new alcohol based markers in exclusive Stampin' Up! colours.

This one is just some standard colouring. I'm sure you have seen this Blended Bloom stamp around on LOTS of blogs, but it's a great one to practice your blending skills on.

In this next one, I have embossed my image from Bravo Photopolymer set in white embossing powder, and then coloured the embossing using my Blendabilities.  It's a great technique to use with dark coloured cardstock. I have also used  a new  Be the Star Stampin' Up! stamp set, which coordinates with the new Star Framelits.

Another great technique to use with Blendabilities is to colour your embellishments. In this card I have coloured the adhesive rhinestones with the Rich Razzleberry Blendability marker.

Stampin' Up! have produced lots of great videos demonstrating how to use Blendabilities. Click on each of the videos below:

Have a fabulous day and see you back here again soon,
