I have to apologize for not posting my usual Wednesday post last
week. My mom was put in hospice week before last and she died on Monday
(Memorial Day). I've been out of town a lot and distracted when I
wasn't. Top that off with a car breakdown on my way to Denver last
week...a permanent breakdown...and you'll get a picture of the last
couple of weeks for me.
Enough of that...here's a new card for you.
This
was definitely a delight to make! I've taken the Watercolor for
Cardmakers class at Online Card Classes recently and watercolor was
definitely on my mind for this one. And I used the same Penny Black
stencil and stamp that I've been using this month.
For
this I inked the stencil with Distress Inks...Spun Sugar, Worn
Lipstick, and Picked Raspberries. I just kinda smeared the colors on
the pads all over. Then I spritzed it really good and put my paper
down on it and allowed it to take up the color. A couple of seconds is
all you need. Then I blew it dry with my heat gun.
I
used the stamp positioner to position the stamp over the flowers,
stamped in versamark, and embossed in bright gold embossing powder. A
pale pink card made the most impact for the background so that's what it
got!
The greeting is stamped in Picked Raspberries and layered on gold glitter paper.
Supplies:
Pink and white cardstock
Penny Black stamp and stencil
Versamark ink and bright gold embossing powder
Distress inks
