More Pattern Paper

Hi everyone!

Today I am sharing my creation for Day 2 of Online Card Classes: Pattern Play.

I decided to do the ink resist technique on pattern paper.  This is another technique I like to do, but don't remember to do it that often.  I had one of those moments where I wasn't sure what I wanted to use, but started using things that were already on my desk.  {Thanks Shay!}

 

 

I started with the "oh so cute" pattern paper from Studio Calico and die cut it with a die from the Half and Half collection from Papertrey Ink.  When deciding on a stamp to use, I couldn't "resist" picking one of the cute flourishes from Flourish Fun 1 that I designed for Paper Wings Productions. I inked it with VersaMark and stamped it repeatedly over the strip of paper and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Using an ink blending tool I added Worn Lipstick ink from Ranger/Tim Holtz until the background was sufficiently colored and revealing the embossed image.

I needed just a few more details, so I stamped a Thanks sentiment and embossed it in white EP and I had these left over punctuation marks from my Thickers and decided to use them as an embellishment instead of gems.  Definitely a different look, but I like it.


After this long absence, I think I'm finding my crafting voice again and it is such a good feeling.
