Yes, this creation does feature 3 VERY SIMPLE TECHNIQUES and here they are:
1) Omitting and coloring with Stampin'Write markers BEFORE stamping the image on paper. I used Gorgeous Grape and Garden Green to color grapes and the leaf part separately. This is still one of my favorite ways to color, and for me..... using markers for more than 1 color is easy peasy!!
2) BEFORE running the Highland Heather layer of card stock thru the embossing folder, I inked up the folder with a Gorgeous Grape ink pad. After ink is applied thoroughly, simply lay your card stock on the ink carefully, and run the paper & folder through your Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine. The dark ink is added to the lighter paper as the texture process happens!!
3) The last technique is called Wadded Up Paper and that is exactly what you do!! I took a small pc. of old scratch paper (computer type thickness) and simply wad and unfold-- SEVERAL TIMES to make it soft & pliable. Keep it wadded up in some sort of a ball form, and use that to dip in your ink pad (used Garden Green). Just ink and put on paper continuously all over the desired area. Adds a color pattern that is unique each time you do it!
Here is a list of StampinUP products used:
--Cane Weave 3D Emboss Folder
--Softly Sketched stamp set
--Countryside Corners Dies
--Gold & Vanilla Edged Ribbon
--All That Dies (used for hello) Just ran this thru to cut 2 times total. By turning the die a 2nd time, both ends are pointy as opposed to the way the die normally would cut.
