The teapotters are sending cards to Walt, the dh of Cheryl Scrivens (CherylQuilts). Cheryl was a much loved part of SCS and went to be with the Lord a few months ago. Lisa is our hostess and she wanted to see cards that reflect peace.
This was a wood block stamp which I unmounted to stamp with but it wouldn't ink up properly in every place, even though I was using my Misti. It just would not take ink in some places. I first tried to emboss it, but that didn't work. Then I tried delicata gold and it only took in a few places. I then added chianti color ink and to my surprise some of the gold showed through, which I loved. I had to keep inking and pressing really hard and finally got it to ink up with the chianti color. In order to show you, I held it up to the light so the camera could pick up the gold on the three wise men for you to see.
I diecut the pinecone die from white gold shimmer paper and backed the pinecones with gold vellum. I used my dot snail runner to adhere the pinecones to the vellum. Then used the dot runner all over the die. I cut the image out with deckle scissors and used delicata gold around the edges, using a dauber. This is a top fold card and I used foam tape to pop up the image panel.

Shirl, wow there's a lot of work gone on this beauty. I hear you on a stamp which won't ink up. I had a similar problem yesterday. Frustrating. All your efforts paid off. I bet it's so shiny IRL. Happy day and hugs

Beautifully designed ... and you had great success with your collage image! The emerging gold ink is fabulous looking. Love the combo of Blackberry Bliss with the gold vellum and shimmery white!
