With a bit of trial and error I have managed to put a guide mark on the stamp so I can see which way is up. Not ideal but it helps. I like your tip about coloured pencils though. Will have to give that a try.Scrapmatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05169597992802573398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-56837862626088038082016-05-26T00:53:10.934-04:002016-05-26T00:53:10.934-04:00I love that you were able to get the same results ...I love that you were able to get the same results with colored pencils... and I agree, Prismacolor are the only way to go. As for the Jennifer McGuire, stamping is her super power (that, or great video editing). The rest of us mere mortals have to work a little harder. I like going with the middle layer first, then the smaller/darker layer, then the large/light layer. That said, I also have assimilated and have bought a MISTI a year ago and love it. It saves me so much time and paper! I still occasionally make mistakes, like dropping an ink pad in the middle of the paper. But I don't have to throw out a failed stamp attempt... or 12. ;-)Karen @ Misplaced Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835307943794476787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-75390577765346165912016-05-24T15:31:41.359-04:002016-05-24T15:31:41.359-04:00Your card is very good and the pencil shading make...Your card is very good and the pencil shading makes all the difference. I know what you mean about layered stamps. Many years ago I had Kitchen Sink daisy ones and I gave them away...now wish I hadn't as the Misti does help. As for the Altnew ones which I could not resist...now have 3 of them. Vintage Roses, Magnolias for Her and my all time favourite is the Beautiful Day flower. <br />It was the hardest thing in creation to get these two sets lined up (Magnolias don't layer) - I was so frustrated that I asked Altenew had they a chart to help out...of course it was already there on the site and it helped enormously to go along with the instructions there. I printed them out for my stamps and keep them to hand.<br />I wish I could colour like Marika of Altenew. She is a genius at colouring...what talent. If you haven't watched her videos you should - Altenew site or you tube or Pinterest possibly....and the music accompanying her work is so relaxing too....I had to know what it was and it is available for free from Bensound or something like that. Sorry for rambling on....<br />Should say that I did purchase a set of 36 Faber Castell Albert Duherer watercolour pencils but it's taking a lot of practice to get anywhere...I am colour challenged I can tell you.Joyce across the Pondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15265043471522130388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-45663474267369047932016-05-24T12:09:02.881-04:002016-05-24T12:09:02.881-04:00Congrats at finding a solution and making this bea...Congrats at finding a solution and making this beautiful and dimensional card.

Have you tried going it what some would consider the opposite order? start with the darkest part and then towards the largest stamp in the lightest color, I have found that waorks best and also a MIST helps ENORMOUSLY...for everything stamp related but layered stamps and masking especially! :DScrapthathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04376435346659219032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-59978161668622810702016-05-24T07:32:26.795-04:002016-05-24T07:32:26.795-04:00A gorgeous card and proof that layering stamps are...A gorgeous card and proof that layering stamps aren't a requirement.

I have a few layered stamp sets in my collection but I'm still sort of afraid to use them.<br />I agree with the others, though, that the MISTI is an incredible tool. So far, I've mainly used it for lining up my sentiments and for double stamping to get a crisp image or sentiment. It makes my stamping so much more enjoyable.Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11340912234685352663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-16428084696394083872016-05-24T04:59:12.799-04:002016-05-24T04:59:12.799-04:00You are not alone in feeling like this ....

When I was lucky enough to win some I selected abstract designs that could be used separately!!!
