Good Friday Morning Ladies,
I hope today finds you well, I am feeling slightly better, I had a lovely bath last night in an attempt to clear my sinuses and hoped it would help me relax a bit for bedtime too, I am still having sweats/ shivers and the coughing is annoying!
Anyway while looking for a card to share today I came across this card, do you know what the title was.....
"My First Post Covid Card"
What were the chances, it was from March 2022!
Here is the Description:
For this card is used Black Soot Distress Ink applied with a brayer to the recessed side of the embossing folder, I spritzed it lightly and then took a piece of Pink Frog card, spritzed both sides of that too and then ran through the embossing machine 3 times (just to make sure), if you look closely the ink doesn't transfer perfectly but I love that, it looks textured in some places too, which is probably from spritzing with water. I will add that I tried this technique twice with different watercolour card before trying the Pink Frog, I found that it absorbed too much of the ink, the colour was too dark and didn't have the subtle look that this piece had. I decided to add some gold embossing to give a little bit of a luxurious feel, so I used an embossing pen on the centre of the poinsettias, I then took a script stamp to add that same gold around the background of the card too. I then matted the card onto a narrow gold mat and then onto black. I really like how this card turned out, I am going to have a play with some different colours today.
I hope that you all have a fantastic Friday,
Love and hugs to all of you
