My friends, I made this card yesterday, using Sabrina's Paper Casting Technique, TLC582, and the same bird stamp that is on yesterday's Purple Starling card. I have been hesitant to upload the card as my bathroom tissue is so wrinkled (of course, I wet it!), that I didn't like it. I saw so many beautiful cards made with this technique that were not wrinkled! Quite frankly, I thought this card is not about to be worthy of the challenge.
After some soul-searching, I decided that I would go ahead tonight and post it since I took the time to create it, and let the chips fall where they may!
As the chips are falling, I'll share how I made the card. Using the technique, I wet (or soaked) 6-double panel pieces of tissue. I decided yesterday that I would make both cards with the bird stamp. Thus, into the wet tissue it went to create an impression.
When the tissue dried, I used all of the above listed inks to stamp the image. I first stamped the bird only with turquoise but it didn't show well. Therefore, I kept adding different colors of ink to the bird portion of the stamp and re-stamping it, until I decided, enough is enough. Then I inked the remainder of the stamp to color the floral portion of the image.
Then I thought, this tissue paper will not stick together, so I got out a needle and thread and stitched around the square. That was all for naught as it will still separate. Regardless, I die cut the paper flower and leaves, colored them with Copics, and spritzed them with Glimmer Mist. There was an interesting reaction to the mist and alcohol inks together. It started fizzing! At first I thought I had made some champagne! LOL That's all folks!!
Thanks for viewing and leaving comments!
