For my second Jingle Belles Pink Christmas card I tried something new. I saw the Try a New Technique challenge at Splitcoast this Monday was "Spots of Color" and I wanted to give it a try. I stamped the Amuse poinsettia in Strawberry Slush and then, using some daubers and Pretty in Pink and Pink Pirouette inks spot colored the image and the background.
I added some silver glitter gel pen highlights and used clear Wink of Stella on all the flowers. Not sure you can see the sparkle in the picture below, but IRL it is quite sparkly.
Remember, the Jingle Belle Hostesses Stephanie and Lauren are each donating $2 a piece for each card created for this challenge. Aren't they the greatest! Click here to find out more.

DeleteMust check out this technique ... the end result is fantastic ... thanks again for joining our ♥ Pink Christmas for the Cure! ♥ at Jingle Belles.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think the daubers were a little too soft to use, but I'm pretty pleased with this.

Deleteohhhhhhhhhhhh what a gorgeous PINK XMAS card & i really like the sound of that cool technique! thanks for joining our JINGLE BELLES fun (again!) for an awesome cause! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteI tried a pencil eraser first, but then went with the daubers. They say you can even use your fingers - maybe next try.
DeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteI saw that quite a few people used poinsettias, and they're certainly perfect. I don't think the daubers have given too soft an effect at all. And I bet the sparkle is so pretty.
