For this first one, I wanted to showcase the striking Versa-Shadow technique I learned from Erin Gonzales (check out her blog HERE - it's one of my faves) using the now retired French Filligree. This technique works on a lot of cardstock colors, but there is something about Basic Gray! It's really easy too - just stamp with Whisper White Craft Ink, and highlight with a Versamarker. Easy peasy!
The rose is from the now retired (TOTALLY just blanked out on the name! Good grief. :) ), which we stamped in Jet Black Staz-On on vellum paper, and colored in with Old Olive, Regal Rose and Pretty in Pink Stampin' Write Markers. Cutting it out and mounting it on a torn corner of Pink Pirouette Cardstock really made it pop.
Don't forget about my Open House next Saturday! :D
ETA: THANK YOU CHERIE! The stamp set is indeed Happiness Shared. :D
Gorgeous! At first look I thought you used an embossing folder. This is a great technique. I've used it before on focal image but never on a whole background...this is very striking!
ReplyDeleteTotally AWESOME! It is just beautiful! I think the stamp set might be Happiness Shared. Not sure! I'm off to try this technique out! TFS!
