Happy Monday everyone! When I saw the CAS challenge on SCS today was to use 3 shades of blue and an option of birds I sort of had this idea in mind. I haven’t done any acrylic block stamping in a while and I thought I could do the 3 shades of blue then add this silhouette on top. I have to say…it actually turned out pretty much what I had in mind.
JOIN US for our NEW Card Create-tions Edition featuring stamp sets in the Main and Occasions catalogs!
Love this card…
I totally love this one!
Love this card, it’s beautiful…did you ink the acrylic block with the stampin’ pads or with the refill inks?
The block was inked with stamp pads
Mary
thanks!
gorgeous card Mary ;0) Can you emboss on top of this background if you let it dry first? Just wondering lol
I can’t see why you couldn’t. You would just need to make sure it was completely dry before you did this. I would also use the embossing buddy…just to be sure.
that looks incredible. now i NEED that set!
that looks absolutely incredible. what a great mood you created! now i need that set!
So simple and yet so beautiful!
Love it. Thanks for sharing. Mary
Is that cut out with a square nestibillitie?
No…I cut a piece of Whisper White 3 x 3 1/4 and stamped the ‘colored’ background using an acrylic block.
Mary
