Made for the CAS13 sketch challenge - a perfect sketch for me to try out a technique I saw demoed at my LSS yesterday! The technique was to ink a CB embossing folder with VersaFine pigment ink and then apply Perfect Pearls to your inked, embossed piece.
Three of my circles were made using a stamp and the other three were made using the Stylized Flowers CB folder. I used black VersaFine ink and brushed on turquoise Perfect Pearls and got this lovely teal/verdigris colour. I sealed the pieces with hairspray. The sentiment is stamped in black VersaFine and I brushed the PP over that too. The stamped leafy circles are glued flat to the card and the embossed circles are popped up with 3d foam pads.
The card measures 5 1/2" square. The circles were cut out with a 1 1/4" circle punch.
