Happy Blossom Card
One of the advantage of use Chalk Inks like VersaMagic is the soft texture that you get after stamping your images. Creating texture and mixing colors is really easy when you use the Dew Drops because you keep the control of the color and you can obtain the most beautiful results. Here is my sample of that:
Directions:
On this project I used a single image to create the complete look. It is a very detailed flower included on the stamp set Heartfeld Blooms by Stampin Up.
I decided to stamp my flower for the first time using a single color to create over that the different mixed of tones. For this process, a tool like the Mist or Stamparatus is very useful because you might need to stamp your image in the same place a couple of times depending on the color of ink that you select. In my case I used VersaMagic Mango like base color.
Since this is a relatively clear color, I had to stamp the image over the very vanilla cardstock twice to make all the flowers and leaves details evident.
Keeping the stamp and the paper in the same place, I applied and combined the colors of the ink directly over the stamp, making sure I don’t contaminate the ink pad with different colors. But if this happens to you, don’t worry, you can clean your ink pad with a towel paper until you have the original color or remove the marks of the other color.
Repeat the stamping process until creating the background that you wanted. If you want you can keep the pattern of colors or change it to others. On this card I used VersaMagic Mango, Red Magic and Ocean Deep.
To complement the background you can splatter some tiny spots of Fireworks Tuxedo Black or any other color that you want. I also used a few splatters of All purpose ink in Champagne Mist to give to my background a shimmer touch.
Stamp your sentiment using VersaMark and White embossing powder and melt the powder with the heat tool.
To finalize the card, resize the stamped background, sponge the borders with VersaMagic Wheat and tie a few loops of natural hemp twine around. Paste directly over the Crushed Curry cardbase using Tear it! Tape and paste your sentiment with dimensionals or double sided foam tape. If you consider necessary, you can repeat the splatter process to enhance some parts of the card.
