This is time for our monthly Blog Hop and this time we have a colour challenge. I don't know about you but I am really looking forward to seeing everyone's creations!! Just click on the pictures below to see everyone's creations.
This was a real challenge to put these colours together in a card. I had a new technique I wanted to try so I put the two things together and came up with this card. I had been wanting to try some cards with the Aspen Tree Dies and had seen a technique using Shimmery White Embossing Paste. I made a stencil with the largest tree die.
This is the stencil I made and I placed it on a Very Vanilla piece of cardstock the same size - 3 3/4" by 5 1/4". I put a drop of Blackberry Bliss Reinker into approximately 1 tablespoon of Shimmery White Embossing Paste. I put the stencil you see above and placed it on another piece and spread the paste all over. I covered the stencil as well as the piece underneath. I used the stencil as part of the card after everything had dried.
What you see on the top layer is what the stencil left. Isn't it pretty? I then added a Cajun Craze leaf along with the Blackberry Bliss. I stamped the branch, the bird and the sentiment with Momento Ink which is my black in the card. I am trying some other cards with this stamp set and paste. It is really fun to work with.
