Happy Monday! It's time for the Technostamper Sketch Challenge! Here is this week's sketch:
Here is my sample:
I started by stamping the greeting from Big News with Versamark in the center of my Whisper White card stock and heat embossing with Gold Embossing Powder. Then I made a template with the Window Framelits and a scrap of card stock. I positioned the negative part of the cut card stock over the embossed greeting and colored in the space with my sponge dauber and Bermuda Bay ink.
I will share a little tip with you! Every time I want to make a project with Bermuda Bay ink I'm always surprised that I still haven't purchased the Bermuda Bay stamp pad. What???? I know, right? Usually I can get by with my markers or I just change my plan....what did I do? I took my clear acrylic block - you know, the ones that you attach your rubber stamps? I scribbled ink all over the top of the block with my marker and then picked up the color with my sponge dauber. Genius, right? I WISH I had thought of that but it's not a new trick, just one people sometimes forget about, which is why I wanted to share it! (Coincidentally, I did manage to order the stamp pad and ink refill yesterday FINALLY!)
I adhered a piece of DSP from the Birthday Bash Specialty DSP Collection to Bermuda Bay card stock. Then I adhered the embossed layer to a layer of Gold Foil Sheet and tied a bow around the card front with Gold Baker's Twine. I finished the card when I attached the card front to the card base with dimensionals. I just love the sheen you get from the gold embossing and the gold foil balloons in this DSP. I tried to capture the "glow"...
