Did you see this tropical card I posted yesterday using Moon Lake from the Stampin' Up spring/summer catalogue? Today I've inked up the same set for a very different look - come and see:
I used sponging and watercolour techniques again but these greens and blues and all that white space give the scene a calmer feel don't they?
In this close up you can see that I added a sort of splatter effect. To get this, I loaded my aquapainter with Hello Honey ink and ran my fingernail across it so that it sprayed across the panel. TIP: You can get a similar effect in a much less scary way with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set!
This could be a very conservative card but I put a little pep in its step with this ticker tape-style greeting made by heat embossing a sentiment from Amazing Birthday.

I definitely like this stamp set, Vicky. My SU demonstrator (my old upline) is having an open house on the 1st Feb, so I think I might be placing an order!
ReplyDeleteThis is a GREAT male card. Good idea about flicking the aqua painter brush . . . but I just LOVE Gorgeous Grunge. I really do.
ReplyDeleteTry not to fall in the river with the puppy . . . please!

ReplyDeleteAnother great card, it never ceases to amaze me how different stamps can look depending what colours and embellishments you use

Gosh Vicky, this looks like a completely different stamp GREAT job.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Vicky! Your closing comment reminds me of the summer of 2013 when I was boating on the River Severn with my nieces. They were rowing and yep, we crashed and got stuck on the bank a few times. We all had so much fun though :)
