Today’s project is one I created for a friend who is going through some pretty tough times dealing with a horrible case of breast cancer. Just a little note to brighten her day. It’s made using the black magic technique but a little more modern I guess you’d say. I was inspired by a video I watched from Ruth Trice of Artful Inkin’. I first stamped on rich razzleberry cardstock sized at 5” x 3 3/4” my largest images in Versamark ink. The stamp sets I used are Beautiful Bouquet, Floral Essence, Colorful Seasons, Flourishing Phrases (sentiment) and First Frost. You can use any floral sets you have on hand to create this look simply by picking out a a couple of large images and filling in with smaller ones. I then added white embossing powder. I then, carefully, added my medium images being sure not to stamp over any embossing powder. I heat set the embossing powder with my heat tool. Finally I finished up by adding my leaves and the smallest images, added embossing powder and heat set those. Once completely cooled, I began to color my images using Stampin’ Blends markers in old olive, pretty peacock, rich razzleberry, rococo rose, seaside spray, so saffron and mango melody. I used both the light and dark markers. I then set it aside to thoroughly dry. I added by focal panel to a layer of seaside spray cardstock cut at 4x 5 1/4” and finally added to a thick whisper white card base 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” scored and folded at 4 1/4”.
I hope I’ve inspired you today to try this technique. It does turn out really lovely.
