Another card camp card!
Another card featuring the colour scheme for the card camp I'm doing (see today's earlier post).
I like this card much better than my first attempt with the zig zags. I coloured in the background with these copic markers, blending them roughly at the joins.
I then embossed the Thankyou in white embossing powder on an acetate sheet. Final touch was simply to pop a strip of vellum on the background underneath where the sentiment goes.
I think this card would look great with a bunch of different colour schemes, or even some coloured embossing powder. I haven't used much acetate in the past, but lately I've gotten into it, and I can't believe what I've been missing out on! Try it out for yourself. :)
Here's another view of the card so you can clearly see the acetate and background and how they connect.
Ingredients:
Stamps: Think Big Favourites (PTI)
Cardstock: PTI white
Ink: Versacolor 81 Sky Grey (to emboss over, i had it out already so just grabbed it!)
Extras: Clearly Creative Cardstock acetate sheets (PTI), Copics (pictured), White embossing powder (Stampin' Up!)

ReplyDeletelove your idea, simple and nice...
ReplyDeleteOoooh! This is delicious!
ReplyDeletethis is a really pretty card. awesome technique-i never would have thought of that. great job!
ReplyDeleteMy fave :). I thought you had used alcohol inks and glossy paper, or a brayer. I had no idea they were Copics!! I have it stuck in my mind that you have to use 2-3 shades of each color w/Copics, and this is perfect proof that you don't! Thanks for sharing your work!
ReplyDeleteVery cool LOVE it!!!!
