Well, it's a day late but that's okay. ;-) Hello, Lisa Hoel here. This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is Anything Goes! My Mom's birthday is on St. Patrick's Day so I always make her an appropriately themed card to mark the occasion. This year's features the Grungy Birthday Words stamp from Visible Image and a host of AALL & Create die sets.
I stamped the background with Queen Bee Shimmer Pearl Ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. After that, I spritzed the background with Lindy's Rusty Lantern Lime and Steampunk Sepia from the Industrial Chic Starburst Spray Set. When it was all dry, I placed a clean piece of absorbent newsprint paper over the top and ironed it with my craft iron. This melts the embossing powder which wicks into the paper. (You have to peel the paper off quickly or it will stick!) This is a great technique to achieve a faux batik look.
Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out the Topflight Stamps store for a wide selection of different and hard to find stamps, stencils and other paper crafting supplies from all around the world! Also keep an eye here on the Topflight Stamps blog. There is new inspiration posted often!
