I made time this afternoon to stamp a card for Kristina Werner's latest Color Challenge. This week's colors were Bravo Burgundy, Rose Red, Regal Rose, Soft Sky, and Whisper White. I felt comfortable with the colors, but I think I would like my card better if I had used different colors...
I tried the "Emerging Color" technique for this card. It's very similar to "Joseph's Coat" if you've ever done that one. - Stamp smaller solid images in lighter ink colors (Rose Red, Regal Rose, & Soft Sky here) all over the cardstock. Let dry.
- Ink the larger, main image with Versamark and stamp over smaller images. Heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
- Ink your brayer with a darker Classic ink (Bravo Burgundy here) and apply over the entire piece of cardstock. Let dry. Wipe excess ink off embossed image with a tissue or cotton ball.
(The greeting on this card is a white rub-on.)
Supplies: Eastern Blooms stamp set (15% off until Sept 30!), Bravo Burgundy ink pad, Rose Red ink & cardstock, Regal Rose ink & cardstock, Soft Sky ink & cardstock, rose grosgrain ribbon, Love & Happiness rub-ons
