It was the first inking for the above Penny Black Poppy stamp along with a new PB sentiment set. I used a mixture of sparkle pens and Distress Markers to build up the soft colours and stamped the sentiment in grey so that it was less harsh. Matted and layered in coordinating colours onto a black landscape base card.
This was a Hochanda TV sample for Artisan Designs. I stamped and coloured the image and then cut into four using TL dies and added an extra layer of foam tape to each section to graduate the layers.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Two beautiful cards, Brenda. I've been making a few pastel cards lately, too. It's such a nice change to have soft colour, so calming. I still like 'in your face' colour, though, lol ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove your poppies and the new sentiment...please don't tempt me! I love PB words stamps. Gorgeous second card, too - haven't tried that technique for a while. You've made a wonderful example of it.

Due bellissime card, Brenda, i colori sono pastello, ma il giallo le rende luminose e solari! Ho sempre qualcosa da imparare da te :D Belle sfumature nella prima card e grande dimensione nella seconda, devo provare questa tecnica!
ReplyDeleteHo avuto un weekend faticoso con l'orto, l'estate è finalmente arrivata e bisogna zappare, piantare e concimare... Il mio tavolo è pieno di lavori iniziati, spero di finirli presto e di creare anche qualcosa per il nuovo challenge.
Abbracci!
