Reverse Flowers and Leaves

This card was made using a technique that I learned at the INKd Imagine crafts workshop at CHA.

Supplies used:  Hero Arts stamps:  Reversed Flowers and Leaves, Blooming Meadow,
                         JustRite  Sentiment and Spellbinder Tag
Tsukineko Supplies:  Memento:  1. Pistachio, 2.  Zeal, 3. Nautical Blue, 4. Elderberry
Imagine Craft supplies:  Fireworks! Bahama Blue

The technique we used was to put the ink directly on the background stamp. They suggested to work from the lighter to darker.  Use inks 1, 2 and 3 in that order. Place the ink random on the stamp. Each card you create using this technique will give you a different effect.  Follow this with the Fireworks spray so that it helps the inks blend.  The next step is to stamp on white card stock.  I used Neenah Solar White to create this project.  When dry using the Blooming Meadow stamp ink it with the Elderberry and then
stamp on top of the background.  The rest is to create your card.  This card was created as a wedding card, but could be a sympathy or birthday.

Just For you-JustRite challenge 049

JustRite is hosting a Direct to Rubber Technique challenge.  For this I used the Fancy Labels set and applied my ink in a random pattern.  To do this I began by putting Memento Rich Cocoa on the edges.  I then applied Memento Cottage Ivy, Rose Bud and Grape Jelly which are colors I was trying to pick out of the paper.   Since I do not have the Memento markers I created my own using Tsukineko's Fantastix brush point sticks and the Memento ink.  Both the front and back of the DP was used and this is from Echo Park Paper. I did stamp and pop up the Just for You, using the Rose Bud and Grape Jelly on the back of the DP which was cut with my oval Spellbinder. (edit:  this was done using the rock and roll technique.)   Actually both the stamped and die cut images are popped up.   Spellbinder ovals and labels 13 were used to cut the JustRite stamp.  The Ribbon is from May Arts and accented with a brad from My Mind's Eye "Stella and Rose" decorative brads.  It is so much fun that the CHA orders are arriving at my LSS "Fond Memories".  I needed to do something today as we are having a heavy snow storm/blizzard here in Minnesota.  Hope you enjoy
