Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
A few weeks ago I participated in a Zoom get together with friends.
We did Chrissie's Faux Letterpress technique.
I didn't like the way my die transferred ink so I pressed it into the cardstock without
inking. Then I used the outcut from die cutting the snowflake as a stencil
to get the color in the impression.
Then I did it in blue....
and in lavender....
I think they'll make good thank you cards or thinking of you cards for this season.
Enjoy!

Your sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
I haven't had the time to comment on your last post!!! You are going right up to the line with your card making. These three cards are beautiful - my favorite one is the pink one. There is something about the soft pink, silver and white that is very - well the only word I can think of is breath taking. And that is exactly how I felt when I first saw this card. Someday I will try this technique but for right now I am sticking to the "oh so easy" cards.

These are beautiful, Bonnie. I love this technique and all the colors you used are so soft and pretty.
ReplyDeleteThree great cards! I haven't had luck inking the dies either, but your cut out does a wonderful job. These will be welcomed into any house, especially this winter with the cold/snow/blizzards that we've already been having - stay safe and warm!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty, love them xx
ReplyDeleteAll three so wonderful, Bonnie! LOve the lavender the very most!

Great technique with lovely results, Bonnie. They are all so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, as usual! I will be teaching a winter card class and am going to try some of your color combos. Thanks for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas card in a pink version looks wonderful. A beautiful card with this new die embossing technique. The other colors are just as beautiful.

Three beautiful cards Bonnie, a great idea to use the die cut stencil to colour the letterpress image :)
ReplyDeleteAll 3 are absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bonnie, but I think my favorite is the first one in pink! Anyone would be delighted to get any one of these 3 cards though...such a lovely technique to show off how gorgeous nature really is! (As long as I'm looking at it from inside though...this blizzard is getting old as it's day 3 and just doesn't seem to want to leave!!) Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteOoooh, these cards are so very pretty in all the different colors! I took a peek at the video and it looks very interesting. Another technique added to my "to try" list!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty snowflake trio in pastel colors, Bonnie! The sparkle of the snowflakes, the lovely soft ink-blending inside the debossed areas, and the color-matching frames are all so lovely!
