Pastel birthday

Just a note

Dawn Woleslagle taught a technique in the last Online Card Class using a gel press (or the back of a large photopolymer stamp). And then Lydia Fiedler's FB live sessions happened, and I bought myself a gel press. SOOOOOO addictive!

I added Distress Oxide inks to a gel plate, spread it out with a brayer, then stamped onto it (I used a discontinued stamp from Hero Arts, but you could use almost any stamp for this technique). I then pressed my cardstock onto the gell plate and removed it to get this gorgeous panel. I added a blue panel that I had leftover from another card (I'd sprayed the panel with water using a stencil from Paper Rose), and cut it with the Hello Topper die from Birch Press. I finished with a white embossed sentiment from Clearly Besotted.

More embossing at A Blog Named Hero

Hello! The embossing challenge at A Blog Named Hero continues apace, so I have a new card up on the A Blog Named Hero Facebook page using emboss resist - one of my favourite techniques!

I used the Flower garden bold prints stamp to white emboss onto watercolour paper, then I painted Distress Oxide inks over the embossing in a light wash of colour. I sprayed the panel with perfect pearls in water as well, to give a little shine.

The sentiment is from Hello Stamp & Cut set.

Stenciled flower for Picket Fence Studios

I have a one-layer, stenciled, rainbow flower to share today!

I used the Shading Flower Stencil, inked in a rainbow of Distress Oxide inks, then coloured with matching Derwent pencils. I finished with a white embossed sentiment on a scrap of black cardstock.
