Faux Diamond Technique
Hi there! Today I have a fun project to create using your Memento Inks. Like this month we are featuring the amethyst I am using Grape Jelly and Lulu Lavender to create my faux diamond Technique.
I started with a whisper white piece of cardstock and a stripe of masking tape.
I just created diagonal lines of color using a jumbo dauber and the Grape Jelly Memento Ink. This is a technique that you can use with any color of ink, but for me is good to start with the dark colors.
I used the grid side of my Craft Mat to determinate the space in between of each line. mine are around 3/4″ of each in between.
When I was satisfied with the look, I just turn the inked cardstock 180 degrees and repeat the process but this time using a lighter color of ink, Lulu Lavender Memento Ink, just to create the shadow.
I sprayed the entire inked piece with Shimmer Sheer Sparkle to give the shimmer touch that a pair of shoes deserve. Yes, to finalize my card, I used images from the stamp set First Steep from Waffle Flower. This is a gorgeous stamp set that include a pair of shoes with many embellishments and great encouraging sentiments.
I just stamped one of the embellishments included on the First Step stamp set directly over my faux diamond background with VersaFine Clair Nocturne and Clear Mboss Embossing Powder. Then I combined two sentiments and stamped them over a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock that I cut and mat with whisper white cardstock using the Stitched Sentiments Strips Dies from Kat Scrappiness.
