Totally behind….Monday challenge
I had to try Monday’s technique challenge. I had never tried Mulberry Batik before. It’s definitely not my favorite card I ever made, but it’s the first one created in my new stamp room.
I stamped the gorgeous tree branch from Artfully Asian on Mulberry paper with Versamark ink and embossed it with clear ink. Next I colored the flowers with Rose Red, the leaves with Certainly Celery and all around with Brocade blue and aqua painter. While the Mulberry paper was still wet I tore the edges. Then I put it between two sheets of copy paper and ironed over it to take off the embossing powder.
I glued the mulberry paper on a piece of white cardstock with crystal effect. While the crystal effect was still wet, I added dazzling diamond glitter over it .
My card base is a 5 1/4″ square card. I layered a 5″ square of BasicGrey Perhaps paper over it. The green paper is from the Stampin’ Up! Enchante designer paper pack. I added some lines on the green layer in white and black to mimic the lines in the BasicGrey paper.
I will have to stamp more later. It’s already noon and I didn’t get my daily dose of sunshine yet! Last night was rough. Lots of coughing and snotty nose! Backyard time will make me feel better. Maybe I can even take a quick nap. Austin will be home in 2 hours…so I better get my bootie out there!
