Masculine card – Greatest Adventure an online exclusive stamp set. In this stamp set there’s just a single image of a locomotive. The sentiments are spaced out so that they can be used with Stampin’ Up! colouring tools or Masking Paper and it’s perfect for card fronts and scrapbooking. It’s also ideal for creating a perspective of the train in motion.
How to create a perspective illusion
What is perspective? This is a term which refers to creating a realistic impression of depth in three dimensional objects or spaces in two dimensional artworks. On this train image which is a distinctive stamp, you can use circular dies to create the perspective. Simply stamp the image, then off set 3 circle dies in decreasing sizes on the image and run it through the die cutting machine. Re-assemble the image by raising largest circle with 1 layer of dimensionals, the second circle with a double stack of dimensionals and the smallest circle with a triple stack thus creating different heights to create the perspective.
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies – there are 6 nested circle dies. No. 1 being the smallest and 6 being the largest you require circles 1, 3 and 5.
Masking sentiment
To break up the “Good Luck on your new Adventure”, I masked the lower half of the stamp before inking it up, then removed the mask to stamp “good luck”. Similarly, to ink up the lower half of the sentiment, I masked the upper portion of the stamp. Then remove mask, and stamp inside the card.
