Try this tip!
Here’s a simple tip that can elevate your card designs: cut out your stamped images! By stamping your nature scene and then cutting it out, the image extends past the edges of the cut out creating a striking effect that instantly draws the eye. This added depth can bring your nature scenes to life, making them look like they’re popping right off the card.
- Use a blending brush to add a subtle hue to the background.
- Move the die around until it cuts out just the scene you want.
