Wishing you & yours a blessed Easter. This is my Sunday to work, so just a quick post with my PTI MIM card. What a gorgeous technique Betsy showed in the video--check it out if you haven't yet. Some of you know I seldom color images, so this is perfect for me--plus I love the look of water-color & heat embossing. I used the PTI Quilled Elegance set along with Turning a New Leaf for the background. My inks are Memento Teal Zeal, Pistachio & Elderberry. I don't have reinkers, so I just applied ink from the pads to an acrylic block & spritzed with water. I stamped multiple images, not sure any looked good. I let them dry over night & the next day did the white embossing & voila!...each was a little different but they all are so pretty. It seems you can't really mess up the water colored images--don't worry if they look kind of funny because everything changes with the embossing. I traced the Spellbinders oval & hand cut the bottom of my card. The images are shaped a bit with my fingers so the centers are raised. None of my ribbons (I have more than I can count--LOL!) were the right shade of teal, but then I noticed my bag of fibers a friend gave me years ago & this one was just the shade I needed. I will definitely be using this technique over & over. Hope you like it. ETA: I'm entering this card in the Moxie Fab World Wonder of Watercolor Challenge.
Such a beautiful card Greta. Love the colours and soft stamping too! :) Happy Easter to you.
