Time for another great challenge from the Just Add Ink team. This week it's a call-out to make a papercraft project incorporating the following colours:
I'm pretty sure it's okay to throw a 'neutral' into the mix. No prizes for guessing that I chose to use Kraft!
I love, love, love, the single "All A Flutter" stamp that is in Stampin' Up!'s new Autumn-Winter Mini catalogue, so was determined to use it in my challenge entry. I clear-embossed the butterfly onto Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, and Ruby Red card, by first inking the stamp in Versamark ink, then loading it with my chosen colour and stamping on the same coloured card. A sprinkle of clear embossing powder stuck to each image, thanks to the Versamark (sticky, clear) ink.
I've just re-read what I typed ... does that make sense to you?? I hope so! Just ask if you need clarification (I was described by my teacher, when I was 7, as "verbose", and have proudly carried that tag all my life, LOL).
Stamps: All A Flutter, Inspired By Nature, Asian Artistry
Card: Kraft, Ruby Red, So Saffron, Pretty in Pink
Ink: Versamark inkpad, Soft Suede, So Saffron, Pretty in Pink and Ruby Red stampin' pads, Pretty in Pink marker
Other: Soft Suede Polka Dot grosgrain ribbon (reversed), Whisper White 1/4" grosgrain ribbon (coloured with marker), Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, mat pack and paper piercer, sponge dauber, Button Latte, dimensionals, mini glue dot, Stamp-a-ma-jig
Stunning, the butterflies look beautiful clear embossed. See you next week at convention.
