Take Flight

Mornin' y'all.  How goes it?  I hope everyone is having a good start to the week.  I have a card for y'all today that uses a technique that I found on Gina K's Stamp TV.  It's called Color on Color Resist.  You can watch the video here.

I hope y'all can see the shine on the embossed butterflies in the picture.  I tried to capture it for the blog.

To begin, I used Memento Inks in shades of Purple and a sponge dauber to add color to the white Gina K panel.  I just randomly added color starting with the lightest purple first.  I then used a brand new stamp set from Eco Green Crafts called Butterfly Post that I found at Tuesday Morning.  I hadn't ever seen this company's stamps until that day.  They are all made from recycled rubber and are the prettiest color green.  I stamped the medium butterfly and small butterfly with Versa Mark ink.  I then covered the image with Clear Embossing Powder from Ranger.  I used my heat gun to emboss the images.  After they were cool, I took Victorian Velvet Distress ink and applied color over the butterflies.  I used a paper towel to remove the color on top of the butterflies.  I then stamped the small Take Flight image on Gina K card stock with Versa Mark and used Adirondack's Eggplant embossing powder.  After it cooled I used a Provo Craft Metal Stamp die to cut it out.  I used pop dots to add it to the center of the card.  I tied some Purple ribbon around the center of the panel.  

I then trimmed down a panel of Purple card stock from Colorbok and wrapped a piece of striped purple ribbon around it.  The background paper is from Far Far Hill.  The edges of the papers are torn.  I made the card base from Gina K Heavy Base Weight White card stock and it's a standard A2 size.  I adhered the DP, then the purple panel and added the focal image wonky. For the corner embellishment, I used a Provo Craft Metal Die and ran it through my CuttleBug.

Thanks for stopping by today to see what I have been up to.  Enjoy your Monday.  God bless y'all.
