When I saw the colors for this weeks play date cafe challenge, I knew I wanted to play along. The turquoise with the black and white is such a striking color combination it immediately inspired me to pull out my glimmer mists. I have several pretty glimmer mist colors in teal.I went searching through my stamps for something to play with and found this collage stamp by Hero Arts (Butterfly with Ferns). I happen to have the coordinating fern stamp as well and used that in the background.
The verse is from The Stamp Barn. I was going to emboss using white embossing powder on the background but this morning I was inspired to pull out my bleach gel pen and ink up the stamp with the bleach. I love the effect of the bleach on the glimmer mist background. The bleach stamping and painting pulls the glimmer mist out completely. The stamping always leaves a lovely soft blurry edged effect. I have a little sneak peak of my Easter projects only because I had so much fun creating them.
Love this basket stamp from Memory Box!Well... I have a few chores to do.. and I want to create a few more cards for Hero Arts. They are holding a give away over on the Flickr group for Hero Arts. All you have to do is create a card with a Hero Arts stamp and post it with a tag of "30grand". This will get you entered into a drawing for some of the new wood stamps.
Have a lovely day or night!
