For today I am playing along with CAS Watercolour Card Challenge, Hand Stamped Sentiments, and CASology. Jennifer McGuire's video on Perfect Pearls was absolutely inspiring. So I decided to dust off my Perfect Pearls. Here is my card for today, enjoy!
 |
| This background started black, white and gray.I had made it over a year ago and thought it would look nice on a future card. ( why would throw anything away.) I used Distress Ink to sponge on blue and green throughout creating the watercolor. Quickly I added iridescent purple Perfect Pearls before the ink and water had time to dry. The ocean needed movement and thought this cover panel would be perfect. |

| Above: So I watched a card video with Jennifer McGuire (My husband called it card porn. đ) She demonstrated lifted the powder with VersaMark ink on the stamp. It left an amazing negative space! Click here to see her video. One little detail I forgot, not set it first. So it kind of worked. I had to clear heat emboss them because it needed a bit more definition. Left/Below: This shot is taken in the light. It changed the entire ocean scene to a shimmery water scene. Right/Bottom: After clear embossing the little creatures I thought it needed a bit more glow. So, I sponged over the embossed images with white pigment ink. The effect is amazing! |
Well, that should do it for me!! Thank you so much for stopping by and do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. We will see you soon. Take care and happy stamping.
