Good morning! I just have to say that I am so overwhelmed with how fast this year is clipping along. My mom always said that once I have a baby, the years speed by and before you know it your baby is grown and gone. I am now a believer!!! Today I thought I would do one last Valentine's Day creation. I so love the colors of Love. They are my favorite!! I went all out and used most all of the stamps included in the True Love set. There were a few that I had used in my first post that I decided to leave out.
Here is a technique (that I like to think is named after me) "Jenny's Coat". I took the stamps and made my pattern on a giant acrylic block. I inked them with Versa Mark and stamped a tan piece of cardstock. You can actually do this on patterned paper....especially if you have a large stamp that covers a fair amount. I then used clear embossing poweder and embossed my stamped sentiments. After I heat embossed the images, I used Memento ink and rubbed it all over my piece of embossed cardstock....get ready it is messy!!! After I achieved the color saturation I desired, I took a clean cloth and rubbed over the embossed area. There you have it...a really unique look. Hope you like my card and I hope you will try out this technique!
Hope you like my card!
