Adding Texture
This is my second post today. Scroll down for my DeNami Blog Hop card. I love trying the techniques shown on the PTI MIM videos. This week is adding texture to your image before stamping it. Betsy used a comb, but I found a little brush (the kind you clean a razor with) & decided to give it a try. My stamps are PTI Trendy Tree Tops & Background Basics: Geometrics. Goldfinches are one of my favorite birds & I see them at my feeder every day now. They inspired me to use yellow glitter for the little bird in the tree. I used a black Glaze pen for the eye. New record--4 sequins on a card! Think this would make a good masculine card except maybe switch out twine for the yellow ribbon. Gorgeous day in the Pacific Northwest & I worked in the roses which are in full bloom--way earlier than usual. Love the flowers, but I'm not so crazy about picking up petals & pruning--LOL! Hope you had a good weekend. Thanks for choosing to spend some of your time checking my blog--I really appreciate it.
Beautiful card, Greta! Love your little goldfinch. I think this makes a perfect masculine card (ribbon and all).
ReplyDeletegorgeous Greta. Love the texture you created.
ReplyDeleteLove the texture on the tree! Great design!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with the texture Greta, I like the tiny bird!! I intended to give this MIM a go but time got away from me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic card Greta, such an elegant design! And I just love the texture you created, such a cool technique. I must remember that and try in the future! Big crafty hugs, Asia
ReplyDeleteSo elegant. Love your selective diecutting and color story...the texture is fabulous by the way :)
ReplyDeleteLove how you die cut the tree into the edge of the tag! And it's great that you could give it to a man or woman with a quick switch of the ribbon.
ReplyDeleteThis would make a great masculine card, Greta! Love the soft strokes on the cardstock and the partial diecut on the edge of the tag!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty and so in tune with Nature right now!
