Today I FINALLY played with my A4
embossing folders from the “A taste of India” collection by Sheena
Douglass. As pictured above is the outcome of my playing!
I recently bought Sheena’s stamping card
as she claimed the inks used on her card would blend so much better. I
raised my eyebrow and challenged this. I stamped an image with distress
ink on card from my stash and wet a brush and wet over it. The ink did
not budge. My word! She was RIGHT! A few days later Sheena’s card
arrived so I whipped it out of the package and tested it and you guessed
it the ink blended without a problem!
For the embossed card I made I used
Distress inks in Mowed Lawn, Peeled paint, Evergreen bough, Mustard seed
and Scattered straw. I blended these inks on the leaves in the
different shades. I then applied creative expressions gilding wax in
enchanted gold on to the leaves and buffed. I then used the pearl moon
wax on the un embossed area.
So after all my colourful playing I made
this 5×7″ card! The embossed card was used as the background. I then
stamped an elephant from “A taste of India range” (I have the whole
collection) and water coloured in with distress inks in Pumice stone,
Rippled raspberry and Mowed lawn. I applied Anita’s 3D gloss and allowed
to dry then cut it out and applied on to the card.
The “Keep calm and dream big sentiment”
was done by blending the inks and then glittering the edges. Again I
applied gloss. The pink flourishes are Marianne Dies. The leaf was
stamped, blended and cut out with a craft knife!
Here’s a close up of the sentiment!
