.... Good afternoon! Yes, I'm posting again! I've been having fun just playing along with various challenges. So, today I have a rather quirky card to share:
Stamps: Stamp Mania - Mexican Pottery Set; Visible Image - Take the Moment, The Ripple Effect
Inks: Versafine - Onyx Black; Stampin' Up! - Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow; Verafine Claire - Nocturne
Accessories: White Card; Copic Markers; Sakura Stardust Pens; Nuvo Clear Aquashimmer Brush; Clear Embossing Powder
I'm submitting this card to Fab Friday - FABF#208 - where they have these lovely colours, and to Addicted to CAS - ATCAS#192 where the cue word is Animal.
I love this lizard image and I think he's perfect for the animal element of my card. I used my MISTI to stamp him on white card. I removed the image and coloured it with Copic markers. I then returned the image to the MISTI and restamped in black Versafine ink and heat embossed with clear powder. This technique is one of my favourites because it gives such a lovely crisp, clean image. I then very carefully fussy cut him out. I used a top-folding A2 white card and stamped a subtle background directly onto the card. I adhered the lizard, onto which I have added some shimmer, and then added a sentiment. On the inside, I finished the message in bold black and stamped the lizard again in dark green ink.
I really like this inspirational message. For the moment, the card is going into my stash but I think I know where its eventual home will be.
I've got a couple more cards in progress, so I'm going to make the most of a nice quiet Saturday afternoon and work on them. See you again soon.
Super cute gecko - love his vibrant colors! Such a great font on those fun sentiments, too! Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
ReplyDeleteI love this beautiful lizard image Deborah and read about your stamp/colour/emboss technique with interest. Must try that! The subtle background andthat great sentiment finish your card perfectly! Lovely to see you playing with us at Addicted to CAS :) Vicky x
ReplyDeleteLove that subtle background; it's just enough for some color but doesn't distract from your beautifully colored lizard! And that fussy cutting?? Wow! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
