Hello readers, the week has flown by and it is already time for Blogger's Challenge. This week's theme given to us by list mom, Lisa Somerville, was to "Think Spring". You can feast your eyes on many inspiring creations HERE fashioned by other challenge players.
My first card show-cases a Stampin Up Background stamp called Bodacious, which is already retired...I am so happy I have this one..
The techniques for both cards are a many methods learned from the Technique Junkie Newsletter: Alocohol Ink Float, Cuttlebug Highlights, Mono Dies and Marker Wash.
I used the Cuttlebug Butterfly embossing and die-cut for the second card. The stamp on the main image is from Artistic Outpost...I love this set.
The first card was done using a background with Ranger Alcohol Inks, incorporating the Alcohol Ink Float technique, then I ran the same piece through my Big Shot machine and embossed with Stampin Up's Sizzix Texture Plates. Highlighted with a pink water-base ink to pop out the embossing. Viola another look for my card..
Thanks for stopping by
