For my card
I made a wintery background.
First I
tried smooshing the inkpad onto an acrylic blockand then “stamping”it on watercolour
paper, but I either didn;t use enough water or this paper just won’t flow the
inks well, so I got allthe stripes where I swiped, you can see it in the photo,
also adjusted my color choice a little .
So instead
of smooshing I got out my refillers of Distress inks (chipped sapphire, faded
jeans, stormy sky and tumbled glas). Wetted the paper and with a wide brush I
applied t
he inks.
I kind of
wanted a frayed edge as I thought to use a narrower frame and I thought it
would be quite nice if the coloring peeked from behind, but I decided against
it after my banner sentiment wouldn’t fit.
I heat set
it and proceeded with my splattering, Distress ink spray brushed pewter andantigued
bronze and Dylusions white picket fence. I don’t have the Lindy’s stampgang
sprays, just a few embossing powders, which I used on my birch trees fro Avery
Elle (Let it snow stampset). For this I used Lindy’embossingpowder silver moon turquoise.
As I thought silver briches..silver...hmm might work ;-).
I used the
MISTI to stamp the trees and left it in there as I knew the embossingpowder is
translucent and I didn;t know how it would show up. You can see the immense
shimmer of these almost ghostly trees now. If it hadn’t worked or I didn;tlike
it I would have restamped the trees and add another layer of white
embossingpowder. I thought the stark white would be too much as I already have
a white frame and deer.I still have that second panel, so I might try it ,
maybe white glitter embossing powder..oooh..
I dieut the
Memory Box woodland deer form the inner bit of the frame and adhered it to the
frame after I mounted foam tape on the back.
Attached the
watercolored panel and adhered it all to a cardbase.
I added
some of my Wow! Eombossingpowder/melt it enamel dots.
did finish the second panel, but not with white embossing powder for the trees but with this amazing one from Wow! fairy dust it's called. glitterpaper with stick it for the deer and snowy hill, bluie staple to attach vellum movie ticket sentiment
