Good
Morning, it's my week to host a tutorial over at Prickly Pear and this is just a short one using acetate and shadow stamping,
the technique is fairly subtle but using two contrasting colours gives a finish
that's a little bit different.
Here are the products
and materials I used: Prickly Pear stamps Floral Silhuettes HH0044
and Flourish
EE0131, Distress inks, Black Versafine, Detail clear embossing powder, heat
resistant acetate, watercolour card and Pearl mica spray
Distress the piece of base card
with your chosen colours of distress inks and spritz with the mica spray.
Whenever I create a background with inks or Dylusions I invariably add a spritz
if mica spray as it helps bleed the colours, as well as giving a nice shimmer
and added interest.
Randomly stamp around the edge of the card
with the flourish stamp and then stamp the floral image slightly left of
centre. Next stamp the floral image onto the acetate with the black ink, cover
with embossing powder and heat. You will find dusting the acetate with an anti
static bag or talcum powder really helps to stop your stamp slipping and also prevent powder
sitting in unwanted places.
Lay the stamped acetate over the
base stamping slightly to the right of the base image so you can see a slight
shadow, then carefully glue the corners together with a dries clear glue. Mat
and layer onto your base card and embellish as desired. I used some ribbon and
butterflies using Mini
Butterfly dies PPRS – DO23 and over stamped them with the same flourish stamp that I used around the card edges.
I do hope you will give this fun card a try and please do ask me if you have any questions.
I thought I had better also share my DT card which was on the PPRS store blog yesterday, clean and simple'ish' using the Clear Vase stamp set which you will find here.
Hope you all have a good Tuesday.
