Hello my crafty friends, Today I've been making a card for LIM62 Chrissie and Mandi require 3 greens and as they are the divas we obey :0) LOL
Three Shades of Green.
The card was stamped with the starburst in two colours of green (Versacolor ink pad limone), then clear embossed, I masked (1) to give a panel of colour which was two colours of green by Tim Holtz Crushed Olive and Peeled Paint. Over the top of that I stamped the flower in black (2) I masked and stamped twice more (3) but because I used a pigment ink I had to use a green mica powder to seal it and stop it rubbing off the embossed design (4)Card candy from Craftwork cards, mine was silver and I coloured with copic pens.
I used stamps by Banana Frog sadly no longer in production :{
Mica powder, FX from Dreamweaver
I'm off to visit some lovely Limettes now, thanks for stopping here:0) Leave a comment and I can visit you too, Gay xxx

Wonderfully effective Gay and very skilfully done too! I love that black flower outline layered over the sponged background. Vicky x
Wow Gay, I love this. The way you've done the flowers is just fab! xx
This is fantastic Gay. I looked at the card and couldn't instantly see how you had done it, so the photos were fab, the effect is brilliant. I was a big fan of banana frog stamps, very sad they stopped.
