I just got back to my computer since I wrote that post earlier, and realized I promised TWO techniques, then only showed/told you one! SHAME ON ME!
Okay, so I'm back from the technique class (GREAT CLASS, by the way, with WONDERFUL, FUN ladies to stamp with! Hello, Harrisburg!Thanks for such en enjoyable afternoon!)the second technique we learned today was Layered Brayer, so here it is!
©Stampin'Up!1990-2009™
Here's how we did this:
We started with the Pretty Petals background with Pale Plum on Pale Plum. Next we embossing buddied a piece of glossy white cardstock, then stamped it with the "Petal Pizazz" stamp set in Versamark. We then heat embossed all the flowers, then brayered the whole piece with Pale Plum ink. We buffed the excess ink from the card with a Kleenex, then masked areas of the piece with masks we had punched with Post-it notes and the Scalloped Circle and Boho Blossoms punches. We had added extra stickiness to the masks with Dotto repositionable adhesive. We randomly covered both embossed and brayered areas with the masks, then brayered again with Rich Razzleberry ink. After buffing the excess ink again with a Kleenex BEFORE we removed the masks, we were ready to assemble the card. The greeting is stamped with "Kind & Caring Thoughts" Hostess Level 3 in Rich Razzleberry, punched with the Large Oval punch, and layered on the Scalloped Oval. Actually an easy-peasy card!
That's it! Again, I'm so sorry I promised you two techniques, but only delivered one! Please forgive me??!!
