Sending Ghosted Hugs

Have you tried the ghosting technique yet?

Here's another of my tries.

After sponging some Distress Ink on a piece of cardstock, I used Shery Russ' technique
and stamped with water on the background.

I was a bit too overzealous with the water.  Oops!

So I die cut a butterfly to pop over one ghosted butterfly and
stamped over the other.

I splattered a little bit of water on the background too so there's some ghosted drops.

So I used Stamping, Ghosting Technique, Die Cuts and Embossing with a Die
for my mixed media.




Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

  1. Beautiful, Bonnie! Love the technique and that butterfly is just gorgeous to boot! Also crushing on the fact that you hid your boo-boo by stamping over it, love the dimension it adds!

  2. Very pretty, the orange panel is lovely, such a great fall color and it looks nice on the stark off-white background.

    I love it when stampers point out their mistake and then I have a hard time finding it! It just looks great!

  7. I love this card. Ghosting is my next project and you and Loll have really made me step out of my comfort zone. I loved the marbling and this technique looks like so much fun and several ways to try it. I love how you "fixed" your card. It really added to the design.

  9. Since butterflies are a major fave of mine, I have never seen a b'fly card I didn't like but this one really pops with the color and b'fly ghosting. Love it! Plus your usual good saves with boo boos.
