Thinking Of You
Good Sunday morning all! I was trying out a technique that I saw online in this card. I started with a piece of white card and I randomly added ink all over the card. I used Peacock Feather, Blueprint Sketch and Crushed Olive Distress Oxide inks. Next I embossed the piece with the Peony Blooms Embossing folder. Once embossed, I used a black sharpie to colour in the floor areas between the flowers. The next step was to lightly go over the top of the design with a clear Perfect medium pad. I sprinkled gold embossing powder over it and heated it. It gives a rather distressed look while adding a pretty shine when the card is moved around. I cut the Noble Thinking Of Yousentiment in black and glued it to a white shadow backing die. I added it to the card with mounting foam. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finshed dimensions are 7" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a lovely design, I too have seen this being done, and I have done instructions for it as well, a great technique, I like the last lot of gold on it as well.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Wow. This technique has given a really pretty result. I must try it myself. Thank you for sharing it with us, it is always great to get new ideas otherwise we all tend to get stuck in a rut.
Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. I like this ... And it's very different to what we are all used to. But yes very different and a lovely card for someone very lucky to receive it. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well everyone 🙏.Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Brilliant card Sue x the background technique looks amazing, thankyou for sharing x all it needed was one of your fabulous sentiments x Theresa w in Berks xxx
Fabulous card I love the effect you have achieved with this technique I have tried the technique but without the final embossing powder but that certainly adds a lovely finish
