Daisy Silhouette

Good morning, here's my first card for February............

 
As with many of my January samples, I used Versacolor inks, in this case Cyan, Peony & Split Pea. I swiped them onto my craft sheet & spritzed them with water until I saw the beads of ink........

 
I laid a die cut circle of Super Smooth white card on top of the inks, pressed gently & lifted the card off. I dried the card with my heat tool & pressed it into the inks again.
 
When I was happy with how it looked I made sure the card was thoroughly dry, then added splatters of Apple Lace Silkies & water..............

 
 
I adhered the circle to a square of Super Smooth with Cosmic Shimmer glue, using a brayer on the reverse to ensure a flat surface.
 
I applied a few layers of Black Soot distress ink through the Daisy Silhouette mask from That Special Touch..............




 
 
I used black card & green Core'dinations for matting & layering & adhered everything to a 7x7 card blank. The sentiment is from the Hobby Art stamp set, 'Anna's Collection - Just For You'.
 



I had some ink left over so I mopped it up with a scrap of water colour card, added splatters of Denim Lace Silkies & made an ATC...........

  2. Hi Kirsten
    The one with circular pattern is a lovely card. Do you think you could stamp on it as opposed to using a stencil or would the layers get in the way?

    1. Hi Yvonne, thank you. I think it could work if you used a thinner card stock/paper. It also depends on the stamp; if it's highly detailed you might not get a perfect impression - you could fill in the gaps with a fine line pen. Why not have a play with a few scraps of card & paper & see what happens?

  8. The background is beautiful! I love it and must try that technique soon, hopefully for an entry into Lisa's challenge. Previously I've always bought large ink pads but now I've seen this I need to get some little ones too. Thank you for the chance to win lush goodies and for sharing this beauty with us Karen x
