Hello!
I follow the blogs from most of the seven players in the Group of Seven, so had to try their latest technique. I struggled with placing the sentiment, but am posting anyway. I had gone too far making this, so decided to finish. Not quite following directions, alas. I'll send it to my BFF in CA.
I started with a cut piece of dark green cardstock, not sure the company, and stamped and embossed this lovely rose stamp with VersaMark and Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder. It sparkles nicely in real life. The rose is from the Altenew and Hero Arts collaboration in 2019 that I had not inked up before. Shame on me. Adding the card to NUBUS #50.
Following the directions mostly from the video the Seven linked me to, I started blending. The colors I chose are from Altenew called Mountain Pine and Shadow Creek. Then I blended some Charcoal Suit ink around the edges leaving the center of the flower the original cardstock color.
The unclear sentiment that says "Live life in full bloom" is from the above stamp set. I have not ever been happy with any splattering that I tried on cards, so added SU!'s retired white Candy Dots instead to balance the white card base.
Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again. I sure love your comments!
Gorgeous platinum blossom, Jeanne - glad you finally inked it up & added the rich inks around it!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Jeanne! I love the deep green paired with the liquid platinum embossing. Wonderful blending of your sponging. Thanks for joining us at Group of Seven! xx
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely and that shade of green cardstock is stunning. I'm so glad you tried this and the sentiment in the center is perfect.
