Flower bird garden

Posted by on July 21, 2012 in Annabelle Stamps, Challenges, Hero Arts, Online card class | 27 comments

So I have another card to share with you based on Day 11 (using reverse stamps) from the Stretch Your Stamps class over at Online Card Classes. Super fun! I only own 2 reverse stamps – so my choice was rather easy. I stamped the image in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and then coloured in the flowers and birds with Prismacolor pencils. Simple. To make the flowers pop more, I went around the outside of every image with a sharp black Prisma pencil.

I am entering this into the current CAS-uals Friday challenge CFC062 – Back in Black and also over at CASology where the cue card for Week #2 is Happy (ie; Happy Birthday).

Supplies

Stamps: Hero Arts Flower Bird Garden stamp (CG270), AnnaBelle Stamps Fanciful Flowers Stamp set

Ink: Versafine – Onyx Black

Card: Black card stock, AnnaBelle Stamps smooth white cardstock

Other Supplies: Fiskars stamp press, vellum, American Crafts embossing powder – black, heat tool, anti static pillow

Until next time,

Marion

  1. I love the pops of colour against the black and thanks for that tip about the black outlining – now that I know, I can see it and see how effective it is! I’m so happy you’ve played along with CASology this week!

  2. Hi Marion, Love the vibrancy of the colors against the black background. Am new to cardmaking and am not sure what a “reverse” stamp is.

  27. I’m in love with this card. It totally reminds me of those rich needlepoint designs that are on shawls in Russia or Balkan areas. Simply stunning. I think I’m going to try my own version with Ranger black sparkle embossing powder and distress inks or copics. I agree with Beverlyhbl – Wowza 🙂
