I wanted to make another card with this sweet sentiment die, and took my inspiration from a couple of cardmakers, Yoonsun and Barbara. Then I remembered this old favorite Hero Arts cling background from 2012, and I was off and running!
supplies: white cardstock, (retired) Hero Arts Leaf & Floral Background cling stamp, saltwater taffy and worn lipstick distress inks, VersaMark and clear embossing powder, Paper Rose Sending Love and Hugs die, little flower and leaf dies, Doodlebug Tiny Heart sprinkles
Do any of you remember that background stamp? It's a classic!
I enjoyed making that so much that I dug out another oldie background and made a blue version.
supplies: white cardstock, (retired) 2012 Penny Black Floral Thread cling background, salvaged patina and broken china distress inks, VersaMark and clear embossing powder, Hero Arts Thinking of You Stamp and Cut die, enamel hearts
What a beautiful font, don't you agree? Wish my handwriting looked like that! The process is the same for both cards. Brush on the lighter of 2 inks, dry thoroughly, stamp and emboss in clear, then brush on a darker shade of the same color. My sentiments were cut multiple times for stability and stacked.
It's fun to mix your old stuff with brand new, isn't it? Gives us more possibilities!
Two beautiful cards with this technique. Love the backgrounds and cute litlle flowers. They all make the sweet sentiment pop. TFS
ReplyDeleteWhat a pair of beautiful cards Lin. I do remember that technique, but have not used it for a very long time. Your choice of background stamps is beautiful
