I hit triple today with this card. The pinterest picture challenge (Poppy Cake) from SCS's CAS challenge, SCS' Mixability challenge to use splatters, and the Color Throwdown Challenge:
- I took out my ink refills and Flower Garden embossing folder for another variation of Wet/Dry Embossing. I used the refills because I wanted my red to be intense. The green was actually Gumball Green but it too is quite intense and looks close to Graden Green.
- I've never been much of a splatter person. I just set the art piece in the waste basket and flicked some ink onto it with my paintbrush.
- "Above and Beyond" is from one of my favorite word sets, One in a Million.
- Stamping your sentiment on a vellum strip allows you to try out different sentiments with an image or layout with out risking a mistake to your base image.
- If you've followed my blog for the past month or so you know I've played with this technique quite a bit lately. You can find out more about it by checking out my Chevron Cards and an earlier Manhatten Flower card.
Of course Stampin' Up! has an awesome Poppy stamp, Pleasant Poppies which would also be perfect for this challenge but I don't have it. Not yet anyway.
I don't have time to write much more this morning but I thought you might like to see the other ideas I tried out for this challenge before deciding I like the embossing folder card the best.
Reverse masking with Henry aka Henriette.
More maksing with Bloomin' Marvelous
Same idea with Fabulous Florets.
Happy Stamping!
