The January Monthly Mix Challenge at Gina K. Designs is to watch a video of Gina K. making a card using White Colored Pencil Resist technique and then make one of your own.
When I first started stamping, I was utterly fascinated by techniques. I had so much fun following tutorials and then creating the magic myself (I remember actually doing a few happy dances in the privacy of my studio). Gina is the Queen of taking those possibly forgotten techniques and making them new & cool again (and I love her for that … actually I love her for so many more things than that … she's truly da' bomb).
I have the same butterflies that Gina used in her video, but I decided to mix-it-up and use the Love Sentiment from Gina K. Designs Sweet stamp set (because why not use a bit open space that makes it more critical that you get your coloring very solid) and turn the design into a Valentine. I used BubbleGum Pink ink in the middle of my panel with Red Hot ink on the top and bottom before tearing and inking the edges with black ink.
I used foam tape to pop up my resist panel for a bit more dimension. The stamped sentiment is from the same Gina K. Designs Sweet Set with a Heart from Gina K. Designs Lovely Words with ombré inking with the same red & pink inks. The finishing touch was a few clusters of pink gems.
Since I gifted myself Gina K.'s Sweet Set for Christmas (she had some great sale bundles … how could I resist), I'm linking-up at the Daring Cardmakers New Year – New Crafty Things Challenge.
oh, yes, this looks like a magic techniques! And it’s such a great idea to use all the old techniques once more … because the results are still striking.
Thanks for sharing your card with the Daring Cardmakers.
Fabulous card and love the technique you have used, something I hardly try. Thanks for joining in at the Daring Cardmakers. x
