We've a new sketch challenge for you at STAMPlorations. Our guest designer for this challenge is Debbie aka Indy.
I made the panel by colouring the deboss side of an embossing folder, and I was going to leave it at that then changed my mind and embossed it too. Because I didn't emboss it straight away, the colours had time to spread, so it's a much grungier effect than colouring and embossing in one go. My sentiment is from the new Sentiment Builders: Happy set and the splatter bar image is from Holiday Artsy.
Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog to have a look at what Debbie and the Design Team have created, and join in the fun!
Great minds! Love this technique/effect!
ReplyDeleteSuper card, Shirley. This is surely one of those designs that makes a non-card maker think "how did she do that?!?". Stunning!
ReplyDeleteLove the grunge effect of this and such a funky use of the holiday artsy stamp x
ReplyDeleteExtra grungy... how fun is that. And ditto Sandie about your black "blob" ;)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! This would be a perfect "guy" card. Love the colored embossed effect. That "happy" stamp is the bomb, too!!! Bev
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, but then I do have a soft spot for blue. The embossing and grungy effect is fab. Love the black block as well
ReplyDeleteVery cool, Shirley ... the inking and embossing together is fabulous ... love how the colour 'leaks' out! Tried this technique over the weekend ... the paper bin's full! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteFunky grungy goodness! Love all the varying shades of blue, Shirley!
ReplyDeleteJust another fabulous card - that watercolor effect is superb!
ReplyDeleteYou've done it again Shirley...another amazing piece of art that seriously needs to be super-sized and hung in a gallery! I'm telling you girl, you are definitely channeling your inner Picasso!
ReplyDeleteLove the results of this technique, great colors :)
