Sharing a recent publication from the Practical Solutions for Paper Crafters issue of Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Magazine.
The challenge for this card was to up cycle something. I decided to play with my alcohol inks and some of the plastic sleeves that stamps come in. Mine are forever tearing at the seams, so I have an ample supply of them.
This is extremely easy to do. I just applied three colors swiping each across the stamp sleeve and keeping them pretty much separate/no mixing.
Once the ink was dry, I trimmed off two strips of color.
After stamping the sentiment, I placed the strips over top of the sentiment, turning one so that the colors went in reverse. This created a great blending effect where the strips overlap.
I've got one more card in this issue....it involves bubble wrap and gold embossing, but the issue is chock full of goodness, so make sure you pick up a copy!
Oooo...what a cool look! Love it, Miriam!
