An orange experiment
Posted: March 30, 2012 Filed under: CAS, Gossamer, Penny Black 23 CommentsWhen working on a card for the One Layer Wednesday challenge to use pinks and orange I came up with this. It was meant to be pink and orange but ended up all orange with, what I think looks a bit like the texture of a painting. Don’t ask how I did it because I am not sure that I could recreate it. I did emboss the flowers in clear first and after that there were markers and sponges involved! It was destined for scrap but my daughter said she liked it so I evened out the colour of some of the petals and added a sentiment. It is what it is: an orange experiment. I do like the little Gossamer stamp from Penny Black; so expect to see more of it soon.
Thanks for dropping by.

I’m glad you were convinced not to scrap it! It’s bright and eye-catching! I can see why you like the flower stamp, too, it seems ideal for emboss-resist techniques.
I love this, Heather. The colors are gorgeous and so vivid.
Love the way you gave your comment to your own work 🙂
Not knowing how you came to this, but created a stunning card.
To me that’s what stamping is about. Creating! No limits!
Simply beautiful Heather.
