| I used a combination of Distress Inks and Zig Markers and continuous stamped with a touch of spritzing and some marker highlights direct to the paper. The Bees were coloured with Copic Markers. Stamps:- Penny Black Dancing Daisies; WPlus9 C'est La Vie; SSS Sweet Cakes |

| I knew I wanted to use this stamp for some layered stamping, but wansn't quite sure what technique to use, so I googled and found this technique - Layered Batik Resist . I LOVE the look of this techniqe!!! It's not so obvious in in the photo, but IRL, it looks fantastic, especially with the white flower in the foreground. I used Distress Inks. Stamps: Penny Black Dancing Daisies,: sentiment TBA (I've forgotten!) I'm entering the following challenges:-       |
That's a great stamp and it sure lends itself beautifully to the direct-to-stamp technique! I love the coloring and the addition of the sweet bees, Jenny! And your second occasion congrats card is so very striking! That batik technique and the coloring you've used add so much depth, it's incredible!! Thank you so much for playing along with us at Twofer Card Challenge #3!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteLove the batik technique on the second card. Both are wonderfully done!

ReplyDeleteWow, your bold orange blooms really glow, Jenny ... the additional details you stamped using the spritzed markers make them positively 3D!

I love that stamp and both of these cards are beautiful. I love the bright orange and the little bees. Then looking so different is the second card and I love the batik look of it.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the layered stamping look. That is a technique I am going to have to try. I also really like the various shades of green, but that is no surprise as my favourite colour is green! x
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny! Both are beauties, but love the whole negative in green effect you got for the Card Concept Challenge. By the way, thanks for joining us at TCC!
