Hi folks. Are you having a good week so
far? I’ve been a busy beaver stamping because tomorrow is the new
release blog hop for Technique Junkies. So please don’t forget to come
back and check out this awesome release. I think it’s my favourite
release so far.
For today’s card I used my newly bought
shimmer cardstock. Can you see the sheen? The only downside to this
cardstock is that it takes a while for the ink to dry. I started out
with eight backgrounds and ended up with five because of smudging.
Grrrr.
To create my background I used the
following Distress ink pads: Mustard Seed, Tattered Rose, Dusty Concord
and Faded Jeans. I sponged the colours on and then let it dry and
stamped out Bare Tree Duo. After it sat to dry (I rarely use a heat gun to dry my work) I put my background into my Misti and stamped out the With Sympathy, Set of 5 sentiment. My card front was then matted with Black and SU’s Marina Mist.
Wow! This is stunning, Beth. That shimmer paper really adds some great detail to this type of background.
