Good morning, Junkies! It's Holly posting today. I had a lot of fun creating today's card using new stamps from Technique Junkies. The new Zen Edges is a boldly drawn abstract stamp set and you can do almost anything you can envision with these stamps. There are two stamps in this set and you can mix and match and come up with all kinds of combos.
For today's card, I used just one of the Zen Edges stamps - this one has two leaves sticking off to one side. I stamped this near the top of a white cardstock panel, turned the stamp around, and stamped it again near the bottom of the panel.
While this was drying, I stamped the I Believe In You with Versamark ink onto some black cardstock. I covered this with white embossing powder, tapped off the excess powder, and then heated the sentiment with a heat tool to melt the powder. I set this aside to cool off and returned to my Zen Edges panel.
I picked out some yellow, orange, and red ink pads and some Colorful Blending Brushes and set about coloring the Zen Edges panel. I started by brushing some yellow ink over the stamped Zen Edges, and then I added some orange ink to the middle areas. Finally, I added just a touch of red ink to the center of the zen flower petals.
I adhered this colored Zen Edges panel to a black card base and glued the sentiment to the center of the panel. I love how this turned out with the stamped images offset and ink blended with those fiery hues.
Please enjoy using this code, TJ10Holly, when you shop at Technique Junkies. You can pick up these Zen Edges and this sentiment, I Believe in You, as well as many other stamps. Have a wonderful day!
