Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
This month's zoom session was a fun one.
We stamped and embossed on colored cardstock and did some ink blending around the edges.
We started with a similar color as the cardstock and used darker shades toward the edge,
ending with black on the very edge.
My first attempt was a bust. I'm not sure I can even salvage it.
But I was happy with this one.
I added a little bit of ink in the center of the flowers.
While I was at it...
I stamped this Penny Black stamp and embossed in white on a piece of Baja Breeze cardstock.
After brushing color around the edges and in the trees, I added some Chunky White Frantage
and heated from the back to add more snow. A torn paper snowbank and little bird show
off the sentiment.
Then I did another and split it for two card fronts....
There was a spot that missed the stamping and embossing and some ugly splatter blotches
on this piece. So I found a snippet of card and added a bit of ink left on my blending brush.
It made a perfect place to pop my die cut and bit of stamping for a sentiment.
Here's the second...
This time I used a strip of vellum and a foiled sentiment.
