GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT - SHADOW STAMPING - BEAUTIFUL YOU

The Challenge over at Global Design Project this week is a sketch.  Quite a simple straightforward sketch and sometimes these can be tricky!

We were allowed to change it round a bit so I've turned mine upside down slightly and used the Shadow Stamping Technique with the Beautiful You stamp set.  This card was all about the greys - must be the weather here in the UK.  Although the inked background for the embossing was actually Soft Sky but it turned out rather grey. She has Wink of Stella on the main image which really makes it shine.

The sentiment comes from the Love and Affection stamp set and I used the Banner Framelits to cut it out.

This technique uses Embossing resist - stamp your main image and then, using a Stamp-a-ma-Jig reposition the same image in Versamark ink.  Then simply ink over however you prefer - direct with ink and a sponge dauber or watercolouring.  You will find that the Versamarked image pops.

We will be trying this technique at class next week with my regular ladies. If you are in my area and would like to come and craft do get in touch - I hold classes regularly at my home.

 Check out my YouTube Tutorial to show how I made this card.

HAPPY CRAFTING

SIMPLY SKETCHED CHALLENGE BLOG

Welcome to another Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge Blog Hop.  I hope you'll join us and visit all the blogs to see some great inspiration made with Stampin' Up! products - some from the New Catalogue I've no doubt!   This is the sketch we had to work with this week.

 My card uses Whisper White card stock and some Melon Mambo across the top and Mint Macaron for the scallop and the layer.  The ink was also Melon Mambo and a touch of Mint Macaron inside the flowers.  I've used the new Floral Affection Embossing Folder together with the new Love and Affection stamps.  There is also some gorgeous designer series paper to go with this suite - known in the new catalogue as Affectionately Yours.  The sentiment also comes from the stamp set which is a set of 16 polymer stamps three of which are sentiments.There is a touch of dazzling diamonds on the raised part of the embossed paper and some in the middle of the flowers.
