CCC18JUN = Take any card you made in 2017 and change it a bit. I chose this card and made it a square card, added a border, changed the background colour and sentiment, and added brown splatters instead of white.
You need a MISTI for this technique and must remember to leave the stamp in place till the very end!
I used my Memento Dewdrops in various browns, reds, and greens to ink up the image. I kept building up the layers of colours till I was happy.
When it was all dry, I inked up the whole stamp with Versamark, stamped over the image, and heat embossed with clear powder.
I then used Distress Antique Linen and Peeled Paint (tapped on a palette, blended together, and slightly watered down to try and get a colour close to Twisted Lime) to paint a wash background all around it. The embossing powder acts as a resist for the background so you don't have to worry about the colours of the image running.
I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment with Versafine Vintage Sepia.
At the end, I splattered with watered down Distress Vintage Photo and Tea Dye. Then bordered the panel with brown cs and mounted on a white card base.

Wow, Susan, I have no idea how I missed this gorgeous card! You have truly made another beautiful card with this lovely Penny Black stamp (I've been eyeing it for a long time, and I keep on getting closer to buying -- hehe!). I love the beautiful colors and the wonderful background color along with the great frame. It's stunning and absolutely perfect for the colors this week! Definitely a winner for me and is faved and pinned (for when I finally break down, which may be soon - haha!). Hugs, sweet friend! xoxo
