Today I’m sharing a CASE of Jill Foster’s lovely card featuring Penny Black Poppy Pattern [#40-290] paired with a sentiment from Truly Great [#40-309].
Jill used paint on her background whereas I used a combination of Memento inks. I applied the inks to the stamp, misted the stamp, and then pressed watercolor paper onto the stamp, using a brayer to really soak up the ink. The sentiment is heat embossed on an ATC-size Art Square. I really like the dimension that the Art Square adds.
Using the same design, I created a monochromatic background by stamping with orange ink on orange paper.
For this version, I stamped the sentiment onto black cardstock and attached it to the poppy background with dimensional adhesive. I trimmed the background so that the card would have a white border.
Seeing Jill’s card using paints, I can’t wait to give that technique a try as well!
Both cards are really gorgeous, Jean! I love the effect of the misted inks on the first one, but they’re both very pretty!
Beautiful cards, Jean! I love the cheery colors & those flowers are great. More that I need!!!
Your cards are so pretty! Love that orange on orange!
