It was a little time consuming to sponge ink the embossed image, but worth it for the overall effect. I used the little fingertip sponges and Stampin' Up ink. I experimented with other inks that were definately "juicier", but in this case SU's less than inky ink worked better.
I embossed the bird with clear embossing powder after I had stamped it with a brown pigment pad. I don't know what I'd do without my clear embossing powder. It's awesome!!
I LOVE Inkadinkadoo stamps. They are so embellished and pretty! The set this bird comes from is called: Birds Galore. I also bought some Halloween Inkadinkadoo stamps last year that are just as cool! They are one of my favorite brands!
This card is a good reflection of my personal taste. It's very earthy and clean. Kind of like me! Minus the clean part...thanks to a very active two year old!! :)
This is a card I made for TGF's DT call. They wanted to see summer colors. Orange and yellow specifically. This image is from "Wonderland", one of the few rubber mounted images I have from TGF. I made the "oranges" by punching a piece of CS halfway down. I drew/colored the lines. The little jewels are from HL. I distressed the edges and stapled a small scrap of yellow ribbon to the white CS. I colored the image with my PrismaColor pencils. The sentiment is from the SU set "Very Punny".
