I’m Late, I’m Late for a very important date
I know I am late… I missed “Blogger’s Challenge” this Friday. The theme was Patriotic and or Baby. I Decided to put my card on anyway.
Forgive my wonky image..I am learning digital.
The technique I focused on, is called “Warhol”. I remember learning this cool art form in school and was excited to revisit this technique in one of Pat Huntoon’s tutorials.
My inspiration came from Lisa Somerville, who used this same stamp with the Warhol technique.
The three pieces with the image are stamped with Basic Black, allowed to dry and brayered evenly with a rubber brayer with color of choice. My brayer is my best friend.
For the bottom half of the card I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I brayered ever-so-lightly with a rubber brayer and versa-mark ink. Applied Hologram Highlights Embossing powder, heat set; and voila a nice piece with glitter, glitz and elegance.
If memory serves me correctly, I believe this technique can be found in the many resources available at Split Coast Stampers.
Cardstock Stampin UP: Glossy, Barely Banana, Basic Black, Pretty in Pink, Purely Pomegranate
Ink – Stampin Up: Basic Black, Versa Mark, (Mint Melody, Mauve Mist,
Blue Bliss) these three are retired inks.
Accessories’: Rhinestone from Stampin Up, Ribbon- 1/8 inch satin by Offray, Flowers were from an assortment by Prima.
Stamps Stampin Up: Buggies and Booties which is now a retired set.
Thanks for stopping by
Connie
