As I stated earlier today, I wanted to post with some new techniques...The card that I am posting tonight has a whole slew of 'em.
I first used Rangers Distress inks to color the background of the tag. I spritzed it (which you can't see very well) with Perfect Gold Perfect pearls and heat set it with an heating tool. This gives the tag a pearlized look with streaks of gold through it. I then stamped the speckles using Archival ink in 'coffee bean color'. If your stamp the background using a lighter color (such as browns) it makes black images really pop!! I then stamped my images in Jet Black ink (also Archival), to make the images really pop, it used glossy accents to the jet black images and let it dry.
To pick up the gold throughout, I edged the lovely lilac paper with an Adirondack Metallics Acrylic Paint Dabber.
I don't know what I will do with this card (it is larger than usual), so for now, it will sit in my box of completed items. I am just really glad that I completed it!
To add to the challenge posted earlier - try a new technique and take the time to complete it. You will feel very accomplished, creative, and hopefully fulfilled.
Until next time...and as always, all comments are welcome.
Hugs - Roseanne
