I took part in the Inspiration Showcase online card course (the inspiration came in quite handy, I'll say ;) ) where Jennifer McGuire taught us different card making techniques. For this card I used 'stamping with water', so basically I just added some Distress Ink straight from the pad on white cardstock, misted some water mixed with some perfect pearls on the stamp and stamped the background with it. It gave a beautiful, shimmery, ghost-like image - altough the shimmer doesn't probably show in the piccie. I stamped the sentiment (which says 'thank you') on vellum and it did come out a bit blotchy but I left it anyway as it looked almost hand-written that way and I liked it. I made the rose with a Sizzix die and the leaf with a Papertrey Ink die, both from felt.
Sellainen siitä sitten tuli. Toivottavasti se ei tuottanut pettymystä teille -hassuille!- jotka olette korttiani odottaneet (kiitos muuten siitä, tuntuu kivalta -vaikkakin hassulta- että joku odottaisi näkevänsä tekeleitäni :) ). Kiitos, kun kävit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit! Inspiroivaa viikonloppua! :)
That's my card this time. Hope it was worth waiting for after my long 'blog silence' and not a disappointment (and thank you for your words of encouragement during my miserable mojoless time, I appreciate each and every one! :) ). Thanks for your visit today and for any comment you may wish to leave me! Have an inspiring weekend! :)
