In keeping with the requirements of this week's challenge, the background and flower layers are colored with Distress Stains: Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citroen, Broken China and Peacock Feathers. The stem and leaves are embossed: I used a Ranger Perfect Medium embossing pen to form the design of the stem and leaves, and used emerald green glitter embossing powder.
This one project is my submission to the Week 6 Challenge: Use two or more layered stencil techniques on the same card, tag, project, etc.
I used the following techniques: Emboss With, Emboss Through, Layered Stencil Sketching, and Monoprinting. I hasten to say that I am not happy with the quality of my work; I would have done better if I had not consciously been trying to use so many techniques. However, here it is; I used four techniques in the same project.
I used the Rays layered stencil to emboss a tag. I then replaced the stencil, colored the rays with Mermaid Lagoon ink, and monoprinted another tag. I embossed with clear embossing powder and a heat gun. I then colored the tag (which was white) with Mustard Seed ink, after which I outlined the rays with a fine-point black Pitt pen and sketched bubbles with a Worn Lipstick Distress Marker between the rays. Finally, I used Mustard Seed ink with the Clockwork stencil on the monoprinted tag.
The little embellishment was die cut on a Big Shot embosser from a piece of grunge board covered with washi tape.
This is my third submission for the Week 5 challenge. In this submission, I embossed a deep blue metallic card with a fireworks embossing folder. I then used Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin, and White Picket Fence Distress Paints to intensify the fireworks display.
Other examples of the Industrial challenge:
Antiqued Bronze Distress Paint used to intensify embossed surface.
Twisted Citroen Distress Paint used to intensify embossed image of peacock.
Location: Beautiful Bentonville, Arkansas, USA, nestled in the Arkansas Ozark Mountains.
