All you really need is a pigment white ink pad, white card, a background or line image stamp and then a solid image or background stamp. You'll also want some different colour inkpads which can be all different colours or the same colour in different shades. You don't need much else other than a base card and any embellishments or sentiments you may wish to add. This is really simple with subtle results, but enhancing results and I think you will enjoy having a go.

telescoping technique for cardmaking
Welcome all to my blog today and the Totally Techniques blog hop. Tour via the links below to see different versions of the Telescoping Technique for card makers. You could also consider this technique for adding embellishment to scrapbook pages that suit your theme.
This week I've been trying to use my phone to create the video with the help of my son. Where would be without our children in todays technology whizz. I'm getting to grips with it slowly and I hope it works for you to watch. If you like it to encourage me to keep trying do subscribe to my youtube channel.
I added my telescoped image to a base card of 5.25 inches square and a few stripes of red card along with the designer paper which is called Iconic Celebrations. It covers autumn into winter and seasonal events and gives lots of scope for Christmas cards and Diwali and celebrations of light and joy. This suite of products can be found in the exclusively online section of my shop.In the video I created the card below which uses the Stitched Shape dies circles as opposed to the squares from the same pack as you see above and some more easy to use products from the winter range of mix and match ephemera packs. These will make Christmas card makes some of the easiest you will ever encouter.
To add some texture to the sentiment and my telescoped image I've added a layer of card cut just a little smaller than my base card and used the de-bossed side having dry embossed it with the birch wood 3D embossing folder which is 6" x8.5" so a great size for embossing larger pieces of card.
The weather is back to being variable here in my world and so Christmas making seems to feel right. I'll be sharing more over the coming weeks so see you again soon.
Happy weekend all.

Embossing ideas for card making
I created this card primarily for a colour challenge that I found on facebook which asked you to use these colours Petunia Pop, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist and Summer Splash. I got so busy with it that I forgot the Melon Mambo but I love it anyway but of course it didn't fit the challenge.
