Trying New Techniques

Welcome once again  - I am so glad to see you visit.

 The other day I had time to 'play' and I had been inspired by a technique that  Angela from Card Creations NZ had been trying - she found it at Hero Arts and it is called Velveteen Stamping.

I started out following the tutorial, but decided that the White ink I had used in the background was not white enough, so then I overstamped that with script using Platinum ink........ which jumps out at you!  Not good, but I decided to continue anyway. You can see here it hogs the limelight somewhat.

The flowers are from the discontinued Layers of color Polka Dot Love set. The Ivy is the Silhouette Ivy stamp from Hero Arts.

The Dragonfly stamp is also a discontinued LOC stamp - I deliberately stamped it twice to give an illusion of movement.

A few months ago I won some fun Flock in a blog candy draw  on Alicia's blog, and this is the first time I have used it - on the centers of the large flowers.

The sentiment was gold embossed on bright yellow vellum, and mounted with a lift in the middle.
