Good morning ...
I do hope you're having a good week so far
Make it Monday at Papertrey Ink this week is tutorial by Melissa Phillips ...
It's all about using chalks and the lovely effects you can get by embossing your card stock first and stamping over your chalks
I have used chalks before but never tried stamping over them so I thought it was time to pull out those long forgotten chalks and give it a go ... Unlike Melissa ... I chose not to stamp in co-ordinating colours but in a soft muted pearlescent ink and I also did some wet embossing on top of that
I really do like the effect and it was fun to see the transformation as you go
I'm hoping you can see the sheen on this ... I used Archival Brilliance ink 'Platinum Planet'
The sad part is that I can't link this up to PTI because my supplies from them are meagre and I realised after I completed it that didn't use anything of theirs on this card...
Oh well ...
Thanks for stopping by ... Have a lovely day

What a wonderfully, beautiful card...so soft and so very pretty..I just LOVE the pastel goodness of this. I have a tab at the top of my blog that is challenges if interested...I am sure there would be one you could link to, you need to as it is so beautiful..the whole world needs to see it!!!!
ReplyDeleteStunning card Ros! Love the pretty color palette and beautiful layered blossom!
ReplyDeletethis is really beautiful Ros, I did mine yesterday but didn't like the result as much as I like yours.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely technique with such tremendous results, your card looks so sweet Ros in those delicate colours! Great idea to use a contrasting colour to stamp the pretty swirls! Hugs, Ira x

Hope my commenting went well Ros, blogger is running havoc this evening. Probably because of the Dutch playing soccer right now (can't watch it, way too exciting!) So I'm watching the game between my fingers whilst blogging at the same time ;-) Btw, did I tell you I really love your new blog look, really pristine! Ira x
