deer me

Happy Saturday everyone!

I thought I would drop in and share a card I made today.

Paper: SEI, plain white cardstock

Stamps: American Crafts "Laughter", Clear Dollar Stamps "Thumbkins"

Ink: VersaMark, Distress, Staz-on

Die Cut: Spellbinders "Label Six"

Other: white embossing powder, ribbon, Perfect Pearls w/water

The deer was stamped on plain white cardstock with white embossing powder. This acts as a resist. I then covered the whole piece with distress ink. After inking, I used a slightly damp cloth to wipe off all the ink from the embossed image.

I used distress reinker to dye this ribbon. I watered down the ink with a little bit of water w/Perfect Pearls. I had never tried this particular method. My conclusion: adding perfect pearls doesn't really make much difference to your dye job. If you want shine, use the CI paints. Now we know. =)

Have fun... I'm off to play some more.
