This is a quick and simple way to make a puzzle card! Use basic rubber stamping techniques to create a spot the difference card. This is easy to adapt and can be made fiendishly difficult or kept simple, depending on the recipient. This idea adapts well for many different occasions such as birthdays and other celebrations.
The two images for the card are simply rubber stamped onto a sheet of cardstock, embossed and colored. Although the majority of the images are colored in the same way, some parts are colored differently so the two images are not quite the same.
Materials Required
- Rubber stamp - a stamp with plenty of room for coloring will work best for this project
- Clear embossing powder - heat embossing the image is a useful rubber stamping technique and is handy for this project as it helps to precisely color in the sections of the image.
- Slow drying or embossing ink
- Heat tool
- Marker pens - these pens are ideal for this project as their bright colors help to define the differences in the two images.
- Paper, cardstockor other materials as required
Instructions
- Stamp two images using embossing or slow drying ink onto a sheet of paper or cardstock so they are lined up as required
- Emboss the images
- Color in the embossed images making subtle differences
- Attach the finished images to a card blank or use as required!
Tips for Variations
- More complex 'spot the difference' designs can be achieved by masking parts of the image, or perhaps by only inking part of the stamp
- Stickers or other embellishments can be added to the designs to provide more interest
