Oriental Bamboo and Crane Silhouette Card

Place your textured cardstock onto the stamping platform to secure it.

Ink the large bamboo stamp with smoky grey ink, ensuring good coverage, then press firmly onto the left side of your card.

Lift the stamp and reposition it lower on the card, pressing down to create a secondary, slightly lighter impression for shadow effect.

Flip the card around and repeat the bamboo stamping on the bottom section with the same grey ink.

Use the bamboo stamp upside down in the corners to create decorative corner details.

Ink only the sun portion of the large crane stamp with grenadine (sunset colour) ink, being careful not to ink the crane details.

Press the stamp down firmly to transfer the coloured sun, then lift carefully.

Re-ink just the crane details with black ink and stamp over the same area to create a layered effect.

Stamp additional crane details in black ink in other areas of the design for balance.

Go around the entire edge of the card with black ink and the bamboo stamp to frame and define the design.
