Nature's Twine Archives - Tedder Bear Stamping

Hey Guys!

Today I am sharing with you a mostly CASE’d from Tracy Elsom. I loved her card so much I had to make it, I added more layers but other than that it’s like hers!

This cute Octopus is just so stinkin’ cute!! I changed up the top of the banner, I had this really pretty Blackberry Bliss twine! You can see her post here.

I popped up the Octopus and sign with Dimensionals so it is super cute in person!

I followed Tracy’s instructions on her blog, I sponged the background with Mint Macaron and then Blueberry Bushel. Stamped the long seaweed in Tranquil Tide, stamping twice to give more dimension. I set this aside, and stamped the octopus on Blackberry Bliss cardstock with Versamark and embossed with White. Sponged OVER the white embossing powder to tint the white. I used Blackberry Bliss on the bottom and Night of Navy at the Top. It’s so cool in person!! After I was sure the base was dry, I stamped the ‘net’ in Versamark and then embossed that with White Embossing Powder. Be sure if you make this that it’s dry and that you use the Embossing Buddy! For some reason White EP loves to stick to EVERYTHING!

Hey Guys,

I’m super excited to share this card with you! I absolutely LOVE to do this technique with Vellum. I turn the vellum over and using an Impressor and a soft pad I push into the Vellum softly at first and then add more pressure as the paper fibers break down. You don’t want to push too hard or you will go through the paper, but the more you can press the puffier it will get in the front! This is what makes the vellum white!

Here is a picture:

All the white you see in the lily is the Vellum where it is puffy! In person this card is stunning! You just want to feel it! I have a video doing this technique if you want to watch it on YouTube!

I colored it using Blends: Mint Macaron, Old Olive, Calypso Coral. The ribbon is two colors twisted together, and the sentiment is from Graceful Glass stamped on Vellum and then attached to Mint Macaron cardstock. The one layer is Calypso Coral run through the Brand New Folder Subtle. It really gives you a nice texture!

For the background panel, I used the Embossing Mats and the die from this set and just got the impression of the die. That is so much fun to do!! When you watch the video all the dimensions will be included. I saw the background for this card on Pinterest, but can’t remember where! If you know, please let me know so I can give credit!

Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate your support!
