The first card is following Mynette's video instructions (just to prove I can do as I am told) using my new raindrops stamp by Ryn, and a dirt cheap clear stamp I found in Hobbycraft on Saturday while waiting for the queue at the hairdressers to reduce to sensible proportions. Considering the weather we have had recently, thought this combination was quite apppropriate...................
Moira and Janet can now relax, as I then reverted to normal and started playing around (didn't last long, did it?)
The next two both had the raindrops background again , this time on grey card - you can tell I like this stamp - and sneak peeks of 2 new sets from Stampin Up. the small flower border across the base is from Best of Flowers and the flower and sentiment from Simply Sketched, which is a new hostess set.
After stamping the raindrops and the border, I stamped the flower 3 times, using a post-it note mask and embossed with white EP. Then I went off-course and painted the flowers with a waterbrush and white Stazon reinker, gave it a quick blast with a heat gun to stop it smudging and left it overnight to dry properly. The next day I painted the flowers with a waterbrush again and primrose petals and raspberry ripple SU inks, with a bit of green marker pen on the stalks.
Great cards I tried this technique on Mums Mother's Day card

ReplyDeleteI love all 3 of your cards! Love the sentiment on the first one and a your flowers are so pretty on the 2nd one. :) Thank you so much for joining us at Technique Time Tuesday! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool use of our technique this month! The mirror image worked so well. Thanks so much for joining us at Technique Time Tuesday, we sure hope to see you back again soon!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely Vronnie. I think the flowers are so pretty with a touch o colour and I like the way you have grouped them differently to make the arrangement you want. Only one thing, and it is not a criticism, I really want to turn your raindrops the other way up. I must try some new techniques again, so I am storing up some ideas for when I find time to play.

ReplyDeleteYou're right Kate, didn't spot that!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing technique with the grey ones - very interesting with the StazOn painting & being able to colour over the top.
ReplyDeleteThat raindrop stamp is still haunting me.......
