Today’s tutorial on SCS is again a very basic one. It’s on how to use your Stipple Brushes. I couldn’t help myself. I had to use Inspired by Nature again.
I stamped the image in Chocolate Chip on a 4″ square of Whisper White cardstock.
I added depth with my Chocolate Chip marker.
Next I stippled the entire piece of cardstock with More Mustard. Next I added a layer of Pumpkin Pie, but I didn’t stipple all the way to the flower, leaving a small area around it just in Mustard. Last I added a stippled layer of Riding Hood Red, again, not going as fast with the Red as I did with the Pumpkin.
The cardstock was layered on a 1/4″ bigger piece of Whisper White, then on a 4 3/4″ piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I paper pierced a double row border on the stippled layer, then tied striped Riding Hood Red Ribbon around all three layers.
The sentiment was stamped in Chocolate Chip on Whisper White cardstock, punched out with the large oval punch and layered on a 1 1/4″ Riding hood Red circle and a Chocolate Chip Designer Label Punchout.
Here is another sample of a stipple background in blue. I really liked how that card came out.

Blumen im Sonnenuntergang! Beate, deine Karte sieht bezaubernd aus. Diesewarmen Farben und dazu dieser geniale Stempel!!! Wahnsinnig schön. Liebe Grüße… Silke
Your card is beautiful, Beate! I love it! I also enjoyed your tutorial very much – how useful!
thanks for a great tutorial and what a gorgeous card. funny thing is I have these stipple brushes for years and don’t know how to use them …. now i know..thanks to you =)
Beautiful! I like these flowers Beate, use them all you want. hee hee
So, my question about this absolutely gorgeous card is this: WHY DON’T I HAVE STIPPLE BRUSH?! This is beautiful, Beate. You amaze me everytime you post. BRAVO!
Beate, this is absolutely gorgeous! 🙂
Wonderful card, and a neat technique!
I tried to post a question on the tutorial, and it gave me an error saying that I was not allowed to perform that action… so maybe it would be OK to ask you here at your blog…
Do you use the same stipple brush for multiple color families, or do you reserve one brush per family (reds/oranges, blues/purples, greens, browns etc…). Also, can you clean stipple brushes after use, and what should you use to do that? (just water, rubbing onto stamp cleaner with stampin mist?) Thanks!
These are both gorgeous! I love the red one–looks like the sun is setting behind those flowers–and the blue one–well, blue is one of my favorite colors, so of course I think it’s beautiful! 😀
Oh wow….both of these are just gorgeous, Beate!! I love both of the silhouettes you’ve used, and the pretty colors!! Your Passion card almost glows!!
Wow Beate! I always thought the stipple brushes were totally pointless. Guess I need to order some now. This is absolutely stunning! I don’t know how you come up with such fabulous ideas all the time!
Gosh, I need to work harder to use new techniques. There’s so much more (and I thought I had every tool . . . not a stipple brush in the house!). You do such a wonderful job inspiring all of us to try new things.
Another beauty. Lovely colors. Beautiful background.
Hugs, Mary
wow! Very pretty card! I like this one a lot!
Very pretty! Love the blue one too, Beate. I really like this technique.

Beate this is stunning! I love it. Joan
Very pretty. I stipple all the time with paint projects. I’ve thought of using it with my inks on cards! I love the look!
WOW – this is gorgeous!!! I love the beautiful colors!!! I think I have a brush like that somewhere…LOL!!!
I love this technique, I will have to try it. And I love, love, love this set. It is so simple but you can make the most lovely cards, as your sample proves. Thanks for the inspiration.

Very nice! I never use my stipple brushes – they’re gathering dust somewhere. I discovered sponges and have never looked back since… You find any advantage to the stipple brushes compared to sponges?

I love this card and it is one of my favorite stamp set. Now I have to have stipple brush…….add it to the looong list! Thanks Beate!
Another Beautiful card! I have something for you on my blog.
Oh my, this is SO pretty. You did a GREAT job on the technique!
Just gorgeous, Beate! WOW, that’s a lot of stippling, but such a beautiful effect!
Absolutely stunning Beate! I tend to forget about my stipple brushes so this tutorial is one I’m going to do this weekend! I alawys pull out the sponges to do this but I LOVE the look you accomplished with the brushes…great texture! TFS!!
Hello,
Brilliant card! I love the colours. Great tutorial and technique as well. I was all excited and went to M’s, tutorial in hand to get stipple brushes…except no noe knew what it is!!! Am wondering, is it the same thing as stencil brushes?
Thanks!

Beautiful like a sunset!
WOW! Gorgeous card! Reminds me of the island sunsets! Love those flowers Beate! I need to learn this technique! I need a SU! crash course! LOL! Deb
This one is amazing! It’s absolutely beautiful! I love the colors you chose they are perfect! What a beautiful scene! Hugs & 🙂
This is another gorgeous card Beate. You have such a signature style I can tell when a card is yours before I even see the poster!Did you mask the flowers before you stippled or are you just that good with a stipple brush?! Awesome.
