This card was made using my new DesignBlock from Hero Arts - Poinsettas and Birds. I bought it because I knew it would look pretty as both a Christmas design and any other time of the year! I have used it on 3 cards already. Yeah! If you didn't know those were supposed to be Poinsetta's would you think this was a Christmas Stamp?Recipe:
- Stamp the DesignBlock on white cardstock using Versamark Watermark Ink.
- Using Pearlescent chalk and Oil Pastels apply colors to flowers, leaves, birds. (Use a q-tip, eyeshadow applicator, or the little fluff balls to rub the colors onto the versamark)
- After you are done chalking the picture. Ink the whole picture with Versamark and heat emboss with clear powder. I did this 4 times to give it a beautiful soft glossy coat.

This is lovely and I never would have guessed it was a poinsettia. What is really coinsidental is that I am working on a poinsettia card that is the same pattern as your book. All great minds I guess. I bet you get tons of posts on your book.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a beautiful technique! I'll have to purchase some of these products before I can attempt it!
