On a 3.5″ x 4.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock, brayered Bashful Blue ink at the bottom of the card stock.
Turned the card stock and brayered Bashful Blue ink at the top fo the card stock.
Brayered Brilliant Blue ink at the bottom and top of the card stock.
Stamped the Stampin’ Up, Asian Artistry Stamp with Basic Black ink.
Using just the very edge of a Basic Black ink pad, dragged it in a downward motion to put in the grasses reflection in the background.
Dragging the edge of Basic Black ink pad in an upward motion, I put in the grasses in the background.
Note: see next to the ink pad, I try things out on my scrap paper before putting them on the card stock. 🙂
Added white gel pen highlights to the plant.
Note: Stampin’ Up sells this great Signo Uniball White Gel pen which is my favorite all time gel pen. This gel pen is a strong bold white pen.
Tip: When using your gel pen, take the cap off and hold it in your hand to remind yourself to immediately put the cap back on the pen so it will not dry out at the tip. All white gel pens will dry out at the tip if left even for a couple of moments laying open. I have not been successful getting them to write again after they have dried out. 🙁
Keeping this a quick card, I layered the Main image panel with Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue and Brilliant Blue Panels. I also Added 4 silver brads.
Here is the finished card measuring 4.25″ x 5.25. Just a hair smaller than a quarter card. 🙂
I just returned last night from my Brayer Workshops in Castro Valley, California. Where I had such a terrific time with some super great stampers. I was hosted by the fabulous, Wendy Gorton. Here she is pictured with me on the right.
Love ya Wendy!
And here are 3 groups of new Master Brayer Queens. I enjoyed meeting each and everyone of you. What fun gals!
May your day be overflowing with as much joy and laughter as I had this past weekend.
Until my next post. . . . .
Huge Hugs,
Michelle
