Happy Tuesday,
I showed this card during the launch but didn't explain how it was made. Now that some of you have seen the shows it will seem quite easy, it is!
Using the large media plate I added shades of pink and purple izink dye ink pad and a little of the silver pigment ink to the plate. I brayered over this to merge the colours then added a peacock feather over the top of the plate. Next I added a piece of paper over the top of the plate and feather and brayered over this. This makes the pice that can be seen in the back of the card.
I removed this piece and then removed the feather before printing the plate onto a piece of card in the press to impress stamp press. Where the feather is the ink is left in place with the detail of the feather 'stamped' onto the card. I matted each piece onto a deep purple before adding to a large card blank.
For the main panel I cut a circle of white card using the stitch dot press cut dies. I stamped the floral circle onto this using the Ink colour of the izink ink pads. I rotated the circle and stamped a second generation stamp over the top to fill out the circle. I stamped the sentiment, from the same set, in the centre using blackcurrant ink.
Finally I matted this onto more of the purple and the card is finished.
Enjoy...
Unfortunately haven't seen any of your shows recently but wish I had as this card is absolutely stunning. Love it.

Wow - I can feel 'experiments' coming on with all sorts of items instead of the feather - leaves, fabric etc. I wonder if I can roll the cat over the plate too?? Hmmmmm.....

Hi John the background is fabulous, not only the colour but the feather makes beautiful patterns. It's a beautifully designed card altogether, Kate x
ReplyDeleteHi John. You are certainly into feathers at the moment! I can see why, as they do make really pleasing backgrounds for either gender. Good idea to rotate floral circle stamp to fill in the blank spaces. Love the colours.

ReplyDeleteEh up John
ReplyDeleteJust my colour. Not a fan of feathers (there's irony lol!), particularly peacock ones but it's a lovely effect you have created. Adore the wreath stamp.
