Make use of those tiny accent stamps you get in your stamp sets, to create funky patterns, and no expensive rotating stamping platform is needed!
How I made the card
Take a piece of A4 white card and cut down to a square (I've cut down to 14cm x 14cm to fit on a 6" x 6" card blank).
Mark at 7cm on the top and side, and using a T-ruler and marks, draw a cross, this will give you the middle of your card, these are your guides for creating the platform.
Place the piece of card in the corner of your platform. Place the small bauble stamp on the lines.
Pick up the stamp on your stamping platform lid, ink your stamp and stamp on to the card. Keep the stamp on the platform lid and rotate the card 90° and stamp again, keep rotating the card 90° until you have a full circle.
Layout more stamps to expand the pattern (stamp one bauble at a time, so it doesn't get confusing)
Once you have completed your pattern, stamp your sentiment as part of the sentiment.
TOP TIP - Stamp the bottom two sentiments first, then stamp the top sentiment, otherwise, if you keep rotating the card, your top two sentiments stamp upside down.
Once you have finished stamping your pattern colour with your favourite medium. I have used alcohol markers. Mount on to black card and adhere to a 6" x 6 card blank. Deocrate with clear gems.
