Friend Like You

Wow, July has been a very busy month for me.  I am not sure where all the weekends have gone.  We have had a wedding, going away parties and moving our youngest son to Missoula, MT with his fiance.  Trying to get a few crafting things done before we leave on our "glamping" trip down to the Washington and Oregon Coast.

Today I wanted to share the negative and positive effect using the Palm Tree die from the Friend Like You bundle.

For this card I used a piece of the See of Silhouette DSP as my background.

I die cut the palm tree from a piece of Basic Black.  Instead of poking all those little pieces out of the die cut, take a piece of Press-n-Seal and press it on top of the palm tree.  Make sure you pick up all the pieces.

Emboss the  piece of Basic Black with the Subtle Embossing Folder. I colored the ribbon with a combination of Real Red and Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends.  Attach ribbon and all layers.  I know can you believe no stamping on this card.

Now, what did I do with the piece I took off with the Press-n-Seal?

On a piece of Shimmery White I used my blending brushes and Crushed Curry, Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade ink to create the background.

Take the palm tress you have on the piece of Press-n-Seal and add 2-way glue or Mono Glue to the back and then attach it to the background piece you just sponged. Randomly stamp the dragonflies in Memento Ink.

Good Morning Magnolia

I learned how to do this technique from Sarah at the theartfulinker.  I will post the video she did explaining this technique at the end of this post.  This is called Faux Oxide Ink Technique.

Now I have to admit when I fist started adding the ink I was not happy with the result.  But...never give up on a card.  I just did a little more blending and then stamped the magnolia.

When you have a big bold stamp like this magnolia, sometimes it's all about the background.  To get this affect you first drag your Whisper White Craft Ink over the top on a piece of Shimmery White card stock.  In Saraha's video you will see she used sponge daubers to add her color.  I used my blending brushes from amazon.  I used Daffodil Delight, Rococo Rose, Blueberry Bushel and Balmy Blue.  I then lightly spritzed water on top of the whole card and blotted it with a paper towel.  Dry it with an embossing gun and stamp the magnolia in Memento Ink.

Add ribbon and layer.

Here is another one with a different color combination.

I used Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana, Rococo Rose and Blueberry Bushel. I stamped the magnolia in Versa Mark and embossed with Shimmer Black Embossing Powder.

On this one you can see the water drops from the spritzing.

Here is the link to Sarah's video.
