Went to Training Morning yesterday with Chris (sis-in-law) and had a great time.
Did some lovely projects, but we were inspired to come home and try out a different technique.
This card is made by stamping the flowers from the Secret Garden stamp set
in Versamark ink and then heat embossing with White embossing Powder.
The flowers are then coloured in using Whisper White ink (using a Re-inker)
with an Aqua painter. This is then allowed to dry naturally, or if you are in a hurry
it can be dried using a heat gun.
The flowers are then coloured in with the colour of your choice - above you see Midnight Muse - it produces a beautiful shaded effect with not too much trouble.
The card stock I used was Sahara Sand (which I picked up by mistake, thinking it was Crumb Cake) -
a happy accident as I think it matches perfectly. The sentiment is from Curly Cute stamp set,
stamped onto on an Apothecary Accents Framelit die cut.
I used a length of Crochet Trim and a couplke of Basic Pearls as simple embellishments
as I thought that was all that was needed.
You can see the card that inspired us HERE on Julie's Blog.
Thanks Julie - love this card!!
