This is the next installment in my Secret Sister's Christmas present and a birthday card for a co-worker. The background is made using the Ghosting technique, a really simple one that gives great results. Stamp simple bold images with versamark on Whisper White cardstock, then brayer over it with classic ink. Then stamp some images in a coordinating color on top and you've got a great background. Make sure you use high quality white cardstock with a smooth finish (Stampin' Up's really is the best) and clean your brayer first. Aren't you ladies glad you get to learn from my mistakes?
For this card you need: Stamps: Fun and Fast Notes, Fabulous Flowers. Cardstock: Pale Plum, Perfect Plum, Whisper White. Ink: Versamark, Pale Plum, Perfect Plum (stamped off once). Other: Black embossing powder, heat tool, white signo gel pen, flowers and rhinestone brads from the Pretties kit.
Apparently the whisper white and colored cardstock have different reflective properties because the ink on the white and the center cardstock are supposed to be the same color. Very interesting.
