Decided to try again using applicators to apply the inks to the stamp so I could have more control.

Winnie & Walter
I had this idea as soon as I saw Heather's August Color Combo for Winnie & Walter.
Finally sat down to do it & my first attempt mixed the yellow & blue so I had a green area--not part of the combo. I used an oval die to cut the center of the panel which I attached in place with fun foam. The edges were gold embossed as was the sentiment. I stamped the little leaf on the kraft card front using Versamark. I'm entering SSS Monday, Stamplorations Theme & Sketch & Die Cut Divas.

Love how easy the Mini MISTI makes doing this technique. Still got a tiny bit of green, but hopefully that's OK. So fun to get a totally different look just by framing the image with an oval window. The panels were both sprayed with gold Perfect Pearls which gives a gorgeous shimmer in real life.
I think the first card looks like evening & this one looks like morning. I used W&W Into the Woods; Big, Bold Seasons & In Bloom: Frenchy's Festive Florals. The Distress Inks are blueprint sketch, salty ocean, squeezed lemonade & carved pumpkin. I'm entering W&W August Color Combo, SSS Monday & Word Art Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.

ReplyDeleteI love the different looks you got with these lovely cards Greta. The raised oval on the first card is amazingly well done and I love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference it makes in the colors when you mount on kraft or white. The perfect pearls gives such a glorious shine and mutes the color a bit. I love them both so much.
