Challenge 33
Clean and Simple
For my Design Team Sample I have gone for a very simple card using a couple of techniques that I love doing. They are so effective and very easy to do.
So first things first. Ingredients.
I used Clarity Black Coated Card, Dusted with Talcum Powder
I used a bit too much!
Stamped the Wallflower with Versamark
It really does help if you blot the stamp first before plotting!
Then with a soft brush I dabbed various Mica Powders over the image
Brush off the excess
(I brush mine into a container as I can use it for another project even though it will all be mixed up)
This is what you get after clearing all the mess away
(soft folded tissue for that job)
At this stage I decided to add a sentiment so I simply repeated the process
The next part was to make a border. As you can see from the picture above I went with
Variegated Copper Gilding Flakes and Red Double Sided Tape.
Add Tape to the edge of the Black Card. Pull off the Red Backing and Add Gilding Flakes
(use a bit of folded tissue to hold card in the middle to stop fingermarks while doing this bit)
Use a scoochy sponge to press the Flakes onto the tape and smooth out. Try not to go onto the card with the smoocher as you don't want to mark the card.
Below is the card before I mounted it onto a larger Piece of Black Coated Card (A5)
I love how the Gilding Flakes pick up the colours of the Mica Powders
So now over to you!
