When I was playing with the Black Faux Linen background yesterday, I stamped two panels. One with just the VersaMagic Dew drop ink, one with the flowers stamped in the same ink, but embossed with Iridescent Ice. The one without all the glitter seemed more appropriate for the white based card, so I used that.
But I couldn’t just throw that second panel away, right?
So here is what I did with this panel. Like I said, I stamped the Petal Print flowers with Aloe Vera and Sea Breeze VersaMagic Dew Drops and then embossed them with Iridescent Ice. The ink is kind of like the Chalk ink Stampin’ UP! used to sell. It’s a chalk ink that you can use on wood, leather, coated and uncoated paper.
I then mounted the 3″ x 4 1/4″ panel on a black panel 1/4″ bigger. The card base is Cool Caribbean cardstock stamped with Paisley in Cool Caribbean and sponged around the edges. I added a splash of Certainly Celery cardstock to make the green of the leaves stand out more. The Celery cardstock is stamped with the leaves of the Petal Prints set and also sponged around the edges.
The ribbon is from Starlit Studio and oh so gorgeous.
For the Tag I stamped Sparkle on white cardstock, ran it through my xyron, added iridescent ice and embossed it. I punched it out with my small oval punch from Stampin’ Up!. It is layered on a piece of certainly celery, that was stamped just like the bigger celery cardstock piece and punched out with the big oval punch. It is attached with silver cord to the Starlitstudio ribbon.

Beate,
This is so beautiful. I can’t get over how cool that black looks. And the ribbon! I am very tempted to get some, becasue I remember it from the last card you used it on…it looks so versitile, soft, and easy to work with! Sehr schön!

Wow! That card is amazing!!! Never would have thought of using black for Faux Linen!
Beate,
Wunderschoen!!!! Diese gefaellt mir noch besser wie die von gestern. Love the glittery EP on this!
Now I will have to see if I can find some black glossy paper- I don’t think I’ve ever seen that anywhere.
TFS!

ok, you know how we’re always using OTHER stuff not normally used for stamping in our stamping??? well, i’m reading your post thinking “how the heck do you use ALOE VERA and SEA BREEZE with your inks? what kind of a technique could THIS be???” then after reading the previous day’s post that i didn’t read the previous day (!), i realized that THOSE WERE THE COLOR NAMES of your new ink dew drops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! duh!!!!!!!!! (but i’m still thinking, what WOULD aloe vera & sea breeze do when mixed together……………)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for your blog, your wonderful creations, & the silly laugh i just had!!!
This is super…so unique!
Oooo, So pretty! I think I need to buy some glossy black and try this. The irridescent ice is an amazing look. YUMMY!
