The colour in this card isn't brilliant. but you get the idea! I started by using ink duster brushes to add Distress Inks to the background panel. I used a mixture of Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire if I remember rightly. I then stamped with a script stamp from Woodware, followed by another Woodware Cow Parsley stamp in the three background colours. The sentiment is from Honey Doo stamps and the butterflies from the Kind'a Eclectic set from Stampin Up. I finished by adding a little Chipped Sapphire around the edge and mounted onto a 6 x 6 black card blank.
You may be surprised to hear that I rarely stamp in DIs as I find them too wet and not precise enough in their effect for my liking, but I really enjoyed this stamping session and went on to make quite a few more similar designs (to be posted in due course) and I think I may just be a converted stamper!
Hope you have had a good weekend.

ReplyDeletelovely stamped card x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful results with the stamping, love it ! I like to stamp with Distress Inks, it's fun when we don't have to be perfect. If I was allowed only one medium I would choose DI as you can stamp, paint and create backgrounds with them. But saying that, I'm so glad that I have lots of other things to play with :) Take care, Shirleyxx
ReplyDeleteOoh, such a stunning card - I love the colours and I also totally love that cow parsley stamp! Thanks so much for stopping by my desk earlier, I hope you have a great week,

Very effective with the deep rich colour of the Chipped Sapphire for the foreground images. The cow parsley images add super depth & I like how your upper section is predominantly light in colour giving the effect of 'sky'.
