Just Celebrate!
Hello, again everyone! It is Gloria comin' at you! I have been trying some different (for me) techniques lately. I am really rusty at stamping and such after taking so much time off, but I have so many supplies that are sitting around unused! I decided to try at least one new technique (or to revive an old technique) each month! Here is one for this month!
To create the lattice background, I first used a blender brush and several shades of Ranger Distress Oxide Ink to cover white cardstock. I blended the ink until the surface was well saturated. Then I sat the panel aside to dry.Once the oxide ink was dry, I placed the cardstock into an embossing folder and ran the folder through my die cut machine. I added a thin shim in order to get a nice, deep impression. I used a blender brush and Ranger Distress Picket Fence ink to rub some of the white ink over the raised parts of the embossing! So pretty!
I trimmed the embossed panel to 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" and matted it with white cardstock cut to 5 7/8" x 5 7/8". I then cut a large banner from dark blue cardstock and a smaller banner from a scrap of checked paper (Graphic 45 Cafe Parisian Petits Fours). I attached the banners to the left side of the embossed panel.
