I have two cards to share today, featuring one of my all time favourite stamps...'Blooming Meadows' by Hero Arts.
On the first card, I stamped it three times off the the bottom edge of a DL kraft card blank using Versamark ink, then heat embossed it using clear embossing powder. I added a stamped sentiment (from the 'Go To Words' set by Visible Image), also heat embossed in clear.
On my second card, I used the watercolour stamping technique...painting Distress Inks (Dusty Concord, Wilted Violet, Forest Moss & Lucky Clover) directly on to the stamp, spritzing it with a little water, before stamping it on to watercolour paper. I matted the image on to snippets of gteen and purple card...distressing all of the edges, then added a stamped sentiment (again from the 'Go To Words' set by Visible Image) to my card blank.

ReplyDeleteI love these CASlicious designs, Helen! Your OLC using the clear embossing on kraft as a simple silhouette garden is very effective as a sympathy card and your second design looks like a painting hanging on a white wall! Very nice job with the direct-to-stamp technique and distressed edges! Take care, keep safe, and thank you so much for playing at Twofer Card Challenge #27! Hugs, Darnell
