Embossing, Metallic Markers & Perfect Pearls
I fell in love with the Ornate Background stamp from Simon Says Stamp as soon as I saw it. I pictured myself trying multiple techniques with it and these cards show the first few that I tried.
This version of the card is simpler. I treated the background panel of Black Licorice cardstock with my static powder tool, then I stamped the background image with Versamark embossing ink. Instead of embossing in silver, I used a fine detail white embossing powder (also from Ranger). I love the simple but dramatic contrast of the white on the black.
Below are two backgrounds that I created using embossing ink and Perfect Pearls powders in Perfect Gold and Perfect Pearl colours. I set the powder with a fine mist of water.
The final touch for these cards is the fabulous sentiment - hello you cheeky monkey! This is a CZ Designs stamp set with a matching die for the large "hello" sentiment. I stamped the large "hello" sentiment in Versafine Black Onyx ink on Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock and die cut it. I stamped the smaller sentiment on some Black Licorice cardstock and embossed it with white embossing powder. Then, I adhered the sentiments to the card panel.
I love this set. It's full of all kinds of snarky sayings that make me laugh out loud. My girlfriends are definitely going to get a kick out of these cards.
