Here is my card using Karen's technique. TFS and always inspiring me my friend!
I inked my long acrylic block with Distress Inks: Faded Jeans, Peacock Feathers and Seedless Preserves. I used only one color then spritzed with water. Next I swiped one color at a time onto Strathmore Mixed Media paper.
After dry I stamped using Archival Jet Black Ink onto SU "Just Believe" stamp 2 times reinking between stamping. Then stamped off for a light background image.
Then I placed my piece in MISTI to stamp my 2 new Penny Black "Happy Snippets" sentiments. There are 37 choices of sentiments in different fonts that you can mix and match for many occasions. This is a very versatile set, which are my favorite!
Next I die cut my piece using another new PB product.."Antique Frame" Dies. Then die cut mixed media paper with a larger antique frame. I popped up my main image onto that frame using fun foam.
Then attached the layers to my SU Thick Whisper White card base. I loved the results. Thank you again Karen for your beautiful technique and inspiring card.
My card is for our CAS Watercolour September "Silhouette" Challenge. I just had to play again!
You still have until the 24th to play along. There are so many creative and inspiring cards from our DT and GD, Birgit. Happy Stamping...Hugs..
