This is one of my inky indulgences... I began with some Versamark and clear embossed splodges and swirls, then inked the panel with SU Wisteria Wonder, using my duster brushes. I added a whole bunch of other stamps including text, flowers, butterflies and postmarks. I cut the panel into 3 equal sections and inked the edges with silver ink. It's a sentiment from SU too.
The three butterflies are SU embosslits. The three challenges for this one are Week 13 - Thank you, Week 15 Emboss, Week 16 Butterflies. It fits with several others too, can you spot them?
Details are on the LIM blog.
Finally another bit of inky fun!
Look out for me at the NEC today, I hope there'll be bargains to be had! I shall certainly be calling on our sponsors this month .... WOW EMBOSSING POWDERS!
Have a great week!
These are beautiful. Love the stamping techniques.

Stunnign cards Chrissie
ReplyDeleteFantastic inking...as always
Sorry I always say the same thing!
Sheer inspiration x
Three stunning cards - love them all.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy yourself at the NEC today - I went on Thursday and am still a little weary (then again think I might be coming down with the "bug" the rest of my family have had).
Such fabulous cards - it's going to take me the whole week to pick just three challenges!

Fab cards, love the creative backgrounds...I'm very partial to a bit of inky mess, very satisfying! I should have been at the nec but plans had to change. Hope you got lots of fab goodies to play with. Thanks for fun challenge.

Your inking is so wonderful! The first card is a showstopper of a card. I hope you've had a really lovely day at the NEC.
ReplyDeleteI love your cards with the three panels, such a lovely design! But they are all gorgeous, hugs x x
ReplyDeleteYour elegant cards are stunning! I was just commiserating with someone about how mathematically challenging those 3-panel cards are. What a lot of work you've put into these and it shows! Thanks for a great challenge!
ReplyDeleteLove that bird stamp Chrissie. Had a great time yesterday, thanks so much. Hope your eye is better

Hola Chrissie, thank you for yours comments every week:D
ReplyDeleteFantastic technique for your panels, the birds card is very gorgeous.
I'm trying looking for teykol, i would like to make a teykol resist card like Stamper magazin ( Liesbeth Fidder), but i don't now if Glossy accent is similar, well Chrissie, great job as always.
A warm hug from sunny Palma
