Stamp by Art Neko
I found that embossing in black on black cardstock was way cool, and the best gold coverage I could find was using a credit card to spread Golden Acrylics over the embossed image. When I used a lightly corrugated black-striped cardstock, I got this cool ripple effect...
The other card I really liked was this one:
Stamp by Non Sequitur
Here I mixed Pearl-Ex powders with a dab of Golden Matte Gel, and just painted it on. I really liked seeing it go a bit free form...
Wow, looks great. I can't remember the last time I made a card... ha!
ReplyDeleteoooooooh, love it! Sometimes the best stuff evolves from just playing around and experimenting.
ReplyDeleteooohhh ahhhh heather I love them..
ReplyDeleteI have pictures up on my blog. Come see I know your busy.
wow, Heather, I love the second one! it looks just like it was handpainted onto the card :)
ReplyDeletehave you checked Jennifer McGuire's class at two peas? She shares some awesome techniques that look really neat in cards :D (here's the page with all the videos: http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/cg_display.asp?cmd=display&seed_id=30091)
Those are both really pretty!
ReplyDeleteI really love the first card, but you know me I adore all things Asian orientated. I love the ripple effect, makes the card more alluring and the black/gold perfect combination! That would be fantastic framed :) The second card I like, the pearl effects - cool art!
ReplyDeleteLove these cards, Heather! I'm having fun creating digital ATCs. I wanted to tell you that your text lessons are taking hold! I printed out a layout, stared at it, and wondered what was wrong. Then I realized that the text wasn't following the closest element. It looked so much better after I fiddled around and arranged it!! Thanks from Julie
