Hi, Friends......
I am here with my second card for the Mark's Finest Papers Speedy Fox and Friends technique challenge - Acrylic Block Stamping. If you missed my first entry, you can see it here.
On this card, I stamped with my 7/8" x 2-1/2" acrylic block, inked with two different colors of Distress Ink: Shabby Shutters and Spun Sugar. Then I got adventuresome and heavily misted the stamped cardstock. After the water soaked in, I (not-so-)dry embossed using my brand new Sizzix Textured Impressions - Roses folder. The water diluted out the pink ink, but some of the green blocks are still visible in the card below. I used some of the same colors to sponge on the rose embossing.
While the paper was still damp, I stamped the flower in the center using Mark's Finest Papers - Lily of the Valley stamp set and more Shabby Shutters Distress Ink. I love the soft, dreamy, watercolor effects.
After the paper was dry, I rounded the corners and adhered it to my card base and stamped the sentiment from my Mark's Finest Papers - Above the Rest stamp set in Versafine Smokey Gray ink. A bit of pink lacy thrift store ribbon finished it all off.
Since this was a technique challenge, I felt free to do some experimenting around. In hindsight, there are things I would have done differently with this particular card, but, all in all, I am satisfied. My projects always are intended to help you explore different techniques and ideas right along with me. My blog is more of a workshop than a showcase!
Thanks for visiting and I hope you are getting ready to have a wonderful weekend!
