Flourishing Phrases Black Magic

I made this card at the same time that I made the Flourishing Phrases Emboss Resist card.

Black Magic using Stampin' Blends alcohol markers

I don't know what this technique is called - I suppose it's a variant of the Black Magic technique.

Start out by wiping a piece of black cardstock with an Embossing Buddy then stamp the image with Versamark, sprinkle with white embossing powder and use the Heat Tool.

Then colour along the white lines with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers - I used Dark Bermuda Bay, Dark Flirty Flamingo and Light Real Red.

The greeting is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set and that Flirty Flamingo label is cut with one of the Stitched Labels dies.

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Favourite Technique: Emboss Resist

Welcome to the monthly Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop.  You are currently visiting Stephanie Fischer (The Crafty Thinker) from Australia.

Our theme this month is to highlight our Favourite Technique - I don't really have a favourite technique but I've chosen to highlight the Emboss Resist technique today.

Some Emboss Resist using the Flourishing Phrases stamp set and coordinating dies

I started out with a piece of Pool Party cardstock that I cut to the size I wanted for my card front.  Having swiped it well with my trusty Embossing Buddy, I stamped the image with Versamark, sprinkled with clear embossing powder and used my Heat Tool.

Using a small piece of sponge and Blueberry Bushel ink, I sponged over and around the embossed image, fading the shade out a little bit towards the edges.

Next, I used a Sponge Brayer to apply some Bermuda Bay ink all over the card front.

Since the heat embossing resists the ink, I used a little piece of tissue to remove the ink from the embossed flourish.

To finish the card, I white heat embossed the greeting from the Wonderful Romance stamp set and punched it out with the Tailored Tag punch then arranged it on top of some Blueberry Bushel ribbon and pieces cut from Pool Party cardstock with various dies in the coordinating Flourish Thinlits.

Flourish Resist

This was the second piece of card that I dipped into the puddle of ink on my craft mat.

This is the last of the cards I made all on one inky afternoon!  Previous cards can be seen here and here; and the full description of the inky process can be found here.

For this piece, I stamped the little flowers with Versamark before I started the inky process.  Since the Versamark resists the ink, they remain white.

Once the background was dry, I stamped the images with Basic Black Archival Ink and made sure that was dry before I added some more colour to the stamped images with Stampin' Write Markers in Powder Pink, Lemon Lime Twist and Tranquil Tide.

To weight the bottom of the card, I stamped one of the Background Bits images with Elegant Eggplant ink.

I only wanted a thin line of ribbon on the card, so I applied adhesive to one side of the ribbon and folded it in half.  My lovely friend, Satomi, taught me to make the little bow substitute with a piece of ribbon and some glue dots.  The Faceted Gems provide the final bit of lift to the finished card.

Thank you for visiting.

Flourishing Phrases on Glossy Sponged Background

Although it uses Glossy Cardstock, this card is a little different from the others that I made all in one afternoon because the colours are sponged onto the cardstock.

Sponged inks really glow on Glossy White Cardstock

I used the same colours and basic design as in this card and this one and added the Daffodil Delight ribbon.  The greetings are from the Eastern Beauty stamp set.

I used Stampin' Write Markers in Lemon Lime Twist and Tranquil Tide to colour in the flourish.

The base card is Bermuda Bay with layers of Elegant Eggplant and Crushed Curry.

Thank you for your visit.
