Enduring Beauty

Published on February 10, 2024February 10, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

On my Tuesday night ‘Live with Michele’ I created this card using Stampin’ Up!® Enduring Beauty Stamp. This stamp is part of a Enduring Beauty Bundle, the bundle includes stamps, dies and masks.

Measurements Used…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Basic White	4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”	10.5 x 29.9cm, score @ 14.9cm
Card Mat	Lost Lagoon	4 x 5¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Front Base	Basic White	3 ⅞ x 5 ⅛”	9.7 x 14.1cm
Card Insert Mat	Lost Lagoon	4 x 5¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Insert	Basic White	3 ⅞ x 5 ⅛”	9.7 x 14.1cm
Sentiment	Berry Burst	½ x 4¼”	1.3 x 10.5cm
Sentiment Mat	Lost Lagoon	⅝ x 4¼”	1.6 x 10.5cm

This is a simple card to create, masking an area off area approx 6 x 8cm (2¼ x 3½”) using masking paper or ‘Post it Note Paper’. You want the masked area to be smaller than the stamp image, so that it has some ‘black and white’ image. Make sure the outer edge of the card front is covered so ink doesn’t colour the areas you want clean.

Using a Blending Brush, start with Fresh Freesia Ink and brush in a circular motion down 2/3rds of card front. From top down add Berry Burst to the top third of the card. Blending the Berry Burst into the Fresh Freesia. This also hid where I added too much ink in the Fresh Freesia (see Video).

Working from bottom up add Lost Lagoon blending it into the Fresh Freesia. Remove the masking paper.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, stamp the Enduring Beauty image over the top.
