Two Cards - Same Stamps

 I have two cards to share with you today. They use the same stamps and technique. I will have another later using the same stamps.  I just have to wait to post it until it has been received.  (Yep, it's for you, Vicki:) )


I tried something new.  I've never seen it done before, but I'm sure it has been.  I inked up my stamp (a new set from Gina K.  I splurged and bought a three sets and got one set free, plus a couple bonus stamps.  Yippee!) with Versamark, then used markers to color the flower center and leaves. Then I brayered over it with Almost Amethyst ink from Stampin' Up! I matted with white cardstock and also Old Olive. For the sentiment, I used a piece that I cut off from the main image. I stamped with Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. The sentiment is mounted on Dimensionals.

For this second card, I used the same technique. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark before brayering, though. The white stripe down the left side is cardstock. I matted with Old Olive again.


Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
