Hi all! There is a true artist in the blogging/stamping world... Michelle Zindorf. She has these amazing tutorials on her blog using a rubber brayer and inks after clear embossing a colored stamp image.I finally had to try. I inked this stamp up and colored with copics. I used versamark over the image and clear embossed it.
Then, I masked off the bottom and used CTMH amethyst, petal, and hydrangea (from lightest near the edge touching the brown and working to the top of the card) on the top. I masked the top part and then used CTMH chocolate, desert sand, and cocoa (moving from the purple to the bottom).
I stamped the sentiment, tied brown grosgrain ribbon ("earthtones" as my dh said- hehe) and matted the image panel. Finally, I matted on the white cs.
Enjoy!Kristin
Just beautiful, sounds like alot of work but worth it..

ReplyDeleteSaw you on the MFT forums last night but my baby was cranky on and off so I didn't hang around to long. Aren't those paper dolls amazing!
That's really gorgeous. Is that your Christmas cards this year? If so, you've got a lot of work ahead of you; you've got a lot of friends!
