Hello! Here's a card I made recently, but didn't want to post it until I was sure the recipient had seen it first. I wanted a non-traditional baby card and I had this beautiful quote (Quietfire Designs) in mind. I used a number of soft shades of Colorbox fluid chalk to brayer on to 130 lb cardstock and heat set with an iron. I think I used Ice Blue, Creamy Brown, and Dark Moss. I stamped the image and used Moss embossing powder for emphasis. Then I die cut with spellbinders to get the image and coordinating mat in ice blue linen. With that same linen, I made a background panel with a baby theme embossing folder. The cardstock is a lovely soft moss green, and the accent paper is an espresso brown. A few soft blue brads thrown in for good measure and I was done!
Thanks for stopping by. Happy stamping!
Edited to add: the embossing folder is from Cuttlebug, and is one of a set of four called Word Collage.
Oh, so lovely!!! Thanks very much for using the stamp!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful - so simple yet so powerful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Karen. Suzanne does beautiful calligraphy. I like the idea of applying the chalk inks with a brayer. Who makes that embossing folder? It is a perfect background for your big circle.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, Karen! I don't even use my iron for clothes, tho, so this technique would not be good for me. A wonderful gift of love - so rich and unique!
ReplyDeleteVery elegant card and love the quote
