Bright and Bold Stars

Posted On: 17. 10. 14

WatermarkRedB&B-001This is the card that I created and made over a dozen to donate to the Ronald McDonald House in Kitchener/Waterloo, Ontario.  It was also entered into a contest, in which the rules were no sentiment or text, make it bright and colourful! I was quite happy with the way it turned out.  Some magic happened when blending ink, I only utilized three colours: Real Red, Tempting Turquoise and Tangerine Tango, yet when the colours blended and overlapped a fourth and fifth colour emerged.  A pretty lilac between the Real Red and Tempting Turquoise and a lovely green between the Tempting Turquoise and the Tangerine Tango.  This effect added a lot of fun to this project!  The little button was handmade as well, with Simply Pressed Clay and the Buttons and Blossoms Mold.  You press the clay into the mold, allow to set, remove from mold then colour with a marker and a clear coat of Crystal Effects.

Quick tip: Change white Baker’s Twine to turquoise by dragging it across the surface of a stamp pad to soak up the ink! 😉

Techniques used stamping, sponging, texture impressions and heat embossing.
