Welcome
A quick post this evening, that will most likely be my last until after I am moved... I am knee deep in boxes at the moment!!
This card was made for my small swap group, where the challenge this month was to use the
Stamp Etching technique.
I had trouble finding an "open" image that was large enough for the technique, and ended up using one from a magazine set, which included the die and sentiment
I stamped the image using Memento Ladybug ink, and the etching lines were made using a standard ball point (Biro) pen, as my fine art pens are packed - I was nearly cross eyed by the time I finished it!
The sentiment was stamped in the same ink, and I hand cut the banner and inked the edges.
The ribbon was layered over the embossed panel, then the rose and sentiment adhered.
I finished the inside with a narrow strip of gold washi tape.
I am linking this to:
(I used the Tic Tac Toe board, Embossing, free, and die, and the first twist of a sentiment)
Thank you for visiting - any comments you may leave are appreciated
This is lovely Maxine, a beautiful stamp.

ReplyDeleteAmazing technique and an amazing effect Maxine x. Love the texture from the embossing folder too x. Good luck with the move and thinking of you x.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Maxine! I will be praying for safe move and please post pictures when you can.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Maxine. You aren't the only one who had issues finding an open stamp - I ended up using a digi stamp that had a few lines and adding heaps more. I like the sheer ribbon that you used which adds some interest without taking away from the beautiful flower.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your move. Hope everything goes well and you are soon settled in your new place.
What a great technique, Maxine! I have never tried it, but it's incredible how it makes you rose pop! Thank you for joining us and sharing your creativity at Double Trouble!!! -Donna

ReplyDeleteThis is lovely and I like the CAS nature of it. The flower is stunning and the embossed background is a perfect setting for it. I think I may have that embossing folder but I'm not sure where it is at the moment... I do know mine is unused!
ReplyDeleteAnother technique I have never heard of. So much is coming from New Zealand that I want to share. Another beautiful card and you so busy at the time of making.
ReplyDeleteTake care
