This week’s SCS Inspiration Challenge is fun bedding from Boodalee. I chose colors and patterns from the World in Teal for my inspiration.
I’ve been wanting to try a variation of the Cuttlebug Negative Effect that I saw on Deb Neerman’s Blog. I inked my Bloom Dots Embossing Folder with Versamark ink and embossed teal cardstock. I used Ranger Silver Pearl EP to emboss. I love the fun effect and can’t wait to try other color/EP combinations.
I inked a small flower with Colorbox Chalk Lime Pastel and off-stamped it once to soften the color. Over the blooms I stamped my Savvy sentiment in Charcoal.
I hope you find some inspiration.
Wow Stef..I really like the simplicity of this card. Those colors are great together….nice job on the challenge.
Gorgeous card, Steph!!!
That technique is sooooo fun!
And I just LOVE what you’ve done with the place!
Have a great weekend!
~Hugs, Deb
I haven’t tried the ink with embossing technique yet – I love the cards you make using it. And you have a SERIOUS talent for using home decor as inspiration for cardmaking. Ever thought of writing a book? ;^)
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
…but also…
DANG!
(b/c michael’s has cuttlebugs 1/2 price…and i was confidently thinking, “yeah, i don’t need one” and now i’ve kinda got that longing again!”
WOW! i looooooove this!
This is so funky- great way to bring the texture in!
