~LIM Green~

GREEN



Chrissie and Mandi are so kind to give us a color to work with for Christmas.


Even though I have quite a few cards made...I didn't think about the "mailable" aspect and thought a few simple cards would be easier to send out.



My image is a second-hand PSX evergreen which I stamped in Versamark and embossed in white. 

I got around the masking technique, by inking in black and stamping off once before stamping over the white trees.

I took a baby wipe and wiped off ink that got on the white embossed areas. 


I kind of like the smeary look.




See my homemade Washi tape?





I know a pattern would be more "washi"ish...but I wanted the sentiment to almost float without disrupting the design.


I love the sheerness of the sentiment.


Have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by. ;)


Supplies:

PSX evergreen stamp,JustRite Simple Blessings sentiment,Basic Grey Lauderdale DP,Georgia Pacific white cardstock,Versmark ink,Papertrey Ink Premium Dye true black ink,American Crafts AC cardstock,white embossing powder,Staz On green ink

    It's a great idea to have chopped up the image Marlena... it adds another dimension!
    Super stuff.
    Thanks so much

    Love the shade of green you used Marlena and how you sliced the picture up, gives it quite a modern feel :)

    And I thought that I would be using the original curves of the lines in his piece, and you ubiegłaś me. Beautifully done this card. Congratulations.
