This week's SCS Inspiration Challenge comes from the fabulous designs of scent company Thymes. I chose their Wild Ginger Foaming Bath Envelope to inspire me. I loved the colors, square shape, and overlapping images.
I started with white cardstock and PTI's Turning a New Leaf set. I began by stamping the darkest shade (Olive Pastel) and clear embossed. Next I stamped Aquamarine and Cadmium and clear embossed those as well.
Finally I over-stamped with Versamark and clear embossed those leaves. The final step was to sponge over the entire card with several shades of green to bring out the design.
I finished with SRM Sticker sentiments placed in a similar position as the design on the envelope. The entire panel was then trimmed to 4" and attached to an aquamarine card base.
I hope you find Inspiration.
wow stef this looks incredible! I love the addition of aquamarine! gorgeous!
ok, well, that kind of answered my first question which was, “OOOOH! what paper line is *THAT*??!” but actually…the idea of using ONE STAMP and clear embossing powder to create such a luminous and amazing background is sort of awesome just in itself! (& now that i have a little bit of stampy inky confidence i’m thinking, “welllll…i could mayyyybe do that…”) 🙂 🙂 🙂 of course…mine will not look anywhere NEAR as fab as THIS!!! ♥♥♥
I agree with Lauren – I was going to ask where you got that great paper!! I am giving this technique a try and if mine will only be half as nice as yours, I’ll be thrilled. Thanks for all the inspiration1!
