Ghosting in the Meadow Clover

Hi there.  I'm so glad you could stop by!


I have another card done with the Ghosting Stencil technique.

I sponged with Distress ink then spritzed with water over the stencil
laid atop the sponged piece.  I quickly removed the stencil and gave it
a few seconds for the water to do it's magic. Then I blotted it with a paper towel.

This clover die made me think of St. Patrick's Day.
I'm a little late though.

I have this die and never had a way to make it pop, but the ghosting of the leaves in those rich greens as background sure does the trick.

So fresh and springy, Bonnie. You are mastering this technique and created a fabulous background to highlight that lovely flower die. xx

I am so impressed with your ghosting background. It is so clear and looks wonderful with those white flowers. I like that bright green.

Love the nuances of green softened by the ghosting, what a beautiful effect. A patch of clover leaves gives this card the final touch, not to forget the dry embossed frame with the green sentiment. So pure and pretty. xxx

White die cuts always look great with vibrantly inked backgrounds, Bonnie, and even better with the extra ghosted images.

Love the bright greens of spring, Bonnie. Your card is bright and happy. Great work with using the reverse ghosting ... I haven't tried it yet, but will soon. Love those sweet flowers. xx
