 Today I am showing you a funky card I made using a selection of stamps from Visible Image Stamps.


Visible Image Blog Badge, Blinkie

I went for something a little different for me and tried out a new technique.  I stamped and masked off the Live your dreams sentiment, before stamping  the retro dots background and the grunge check background  in black versafine ink and then heat embossed it using clear embossing powder.   I created circle stensils using my nesties and then used distress inks to colour those circles in over sections of the card.  The embossing powders resist the ink so there is no smudging.
