Hi everyone. I have a card – with additional variation on the theme later in the posting – for the current challenges at Simple Less Is More and CASology.
I used a layering stamp set from Just Rite for the flowers, along with a little masking, and Altenew inks. I must say that I watched a You tube video last week – can’t remember who from – and they said to let the ink dry between layers to achieve a crisper effect. I tried this – and it works! I do love when a plan comes together.
The sentiment is from Stamps By Me and heat embossed in silver detail powder. I chose this sentiment to go with the CASology challenge, but also because I like the way the word kinda fades out at the top. Even though it is bold, it also doesn’t seem to cover much of the main image.
Some Tonic Nuvo drops were added for interest, and then this piece attached to a white base card.
I have a whole stack of 300 gsm white card for base cards. I use this as it doesn’t take inks well, it doesn’t like blending inks, and it doesn’t like being coloured with anything! So, white sturdy base cards for quite a while!
Here is a version with some Clearly Besotted stamps:
I got carried away with the blue and silver combination…..
Challenges I will be entering:
Less Is More – CASE the card
CASology – Believe

Thank you so much – the drying between stamping does seem to work for me, even on not so good card! 🙂

Absolutely brilliant take on Aileen’s CASE card and I also saw a video suggesting drying those inks in between the layers – I’m usually too impatient but you’ve shown it works beautifully and the layers in your flowers are showcased perfectly. I think it may have been a Jennifer McGuire video. Loving the bold ‘Believe’ sentiment too and thanks for joining us at Less is More this week.
