Happy Weekend, Friends! I hope yours is productive and leisurely! Today I'm sharing a card using a technique that
Shari Carroll is showing us this month as part of our
challenge for March at the Hero Arts Blog. Basically, it's stamping a background design in white, and then overstamping some designs that have an open area, enough so that the background design shows through it. Shari used "solid" flowers for her overstamping; I decided to us a big stamp with lots of open space so that the stamping behind it would show through. The effect is kind of like stamp kissing, but different :))
Here's my card:
supplies: white cardstock, Hero Arts CG125 Friends Definition, stamped in Color Box Frost White pigment ink, CG176 Butterfly Field and CL493 Live Life, stamped in Hero Arts Pool mid-tone shadow ink, Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly punch, gem from CH213 Sea Mixed Accents
Here's a closer picture to show you the text stamping showing through the butterfly Fields image:
I'll be entering this into the Simon Says Stamp: Everything Goes challenge.
