I decided to focus on the encouragement feel of the quote to create an encouragement card. I started by sponging some distress inks onto the card panel before repeatedly stamping an older Stamplorations stamp (Subway Art Builder) across the background in Versamark ink. To make it a little bit more special, I brushed some Perfect Pearls on the wet Versamark ink to add some shimmer - I love the way it catches the light. I finished off the card by adhering the panel to a SSS Doll Pink card base and adding a stacked SSS "you" die cut paired with a white embossed sentiment on black card stock.
Our amazing guest designer for this challenge is Helen from Moments Of Crafting - we are thrilled to have her join us for this challenge :)
Thanks so much for stopping by!

The Perfect Pearls give it such a beautiful little glimmer; like that! And love the colours! Hugs and Merry christmas, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful card of encouragement, and such a great direction to go with your interpretation of the words. I love the rainbow sponging and the pearlescence is a wonderful touch. Happy New Year, my friend.
ReplyDeleteVersamark resist is still, after 25 years, my favourite technique and I love your added twist! The mica worked well. I actually thought you'd used Brilliance inks, which is the reason for my coming over to find out. They have a similar effect and work beautifully. I love this. Rainbow backgrounds are one of my favourite things and Words are definitely up there with the top three! Gorgeous card.

ReplyDeleteI'm very sad that Time Out is closing. It's one of my favourite challenges, even though I haven't been as able to join in much recently (spine problems),so a big thank you from me for all the DT's hard work. I know how much commitment DTs take.

LOL, It's not Time Out that's closing...it's Words 2 Live By. So sorry for my blunder :-(
