I was inspired by this lady Karen and the video she linked to of her friend Audrie demoing the technique.
I don't have any distress paints so I used my inks instead in Picked Raspberry, Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers. After spritzing I used a piece of Fabriano Ecological Drawing paper which is much more economical than watercolour for testing the technique. I still have a lot to learn with this, but I made a start!
I added a new Paper Smooches sentiment die I bought from Make the Day Special.
I leave you with one of the new baby rabbits in the garden enjoying some peelings we put out for them. They are a real delight to watch.
PS Talking of rabbits, do pop over and see the delightful project Paula Whittaker has posted today. Needless to say I love it and coincidentally had tagged this stamp to order this week. My order has been placed today!
Have a good weekend!

Hello Elaine,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great effect! I love to find new ways to use things I already have too. The colors are nice and fresh, just right for your get well card.
We have rabbits that visit our back yard every night.
Hugs,

Love the look of the technique you've been trying...I hardly use my embossing die so I might give it a go. Thanks for the info on it.
ReplyDeleteAnd the baby rabbit is soooooo cute...wish I could have them in my garden!
And bless you for linking the card...really sweet *blush*
Hope you have a fab May Bank Holiday weekend x
Hi Elaine, I love the results of the emboss stamping it looks fantastic! I've bookmarked the video to watch when I have time. The baby bunny is so sweet, we have a lot of rabbits running around in our yard, they are so cute. We have enough plants etc., that they are not a problem. Our cats like to sit and watch them. Have a great weekend, it's raining here but finally our Daffodils are out in bloom. Hugs, Shirleyxx
ReplyDeleteI love the way your die-cut extends right across the card & is echoed by the background in places. This looks a really fascinating technique.
ReplyDeleteYour little rabbit munching apple peelings is a real delight - I can see why you've succumbed to that little stamp too, enjoy it!
