Monochromatic Card

 

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Have you had those moments when you think you can re-make a stamp design using whatever craft supply you have? This card is a product of such moment. Just another way to stretch those supplies. 

The leaf stamp is from the Blank Page Muse You Make Me Happy stamp set. I used the leaf in a cascading design to mimic vines. I used a midnight blue cardstock for the card panel. After prepping the area with an anti-static powder tool, I stamped the leaf one branch at a time using Versamark ink. 

I poured silver embossing ink over the sticky ink. 

Despite the use of an anti-static tool, I end up having stray powders. I gently removed these stray, melted powder with an electric eraser. You can use a craft knife too if you don't have this kind of eraser.

I colored the leaves with a light blue acrylic marker. This marker gives a bold matte color. Despite coloring over the leaf spine with the acrylic marker, the embossing retained its shiny property.

I blended ink on the blank area of the panel with a dark blue ink. I splattered some gray mica water over the blended portion of the panel. Once this has dried, I adhered letter die cuts to create the sentiment. 

These letter die cuts were doubled up for some dimension. I also colored it with a blue acrylic marker to tie in with the color of the leaves.

This card is very easy to pull together. I encouraged you to give it a try. 

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
