Week 4 of 12 Weeks of Christmas - Festive Foliage meets the Smooching Technique

Welcome to week 4 of 12 Weeks of Christmas.  This week I have again used the Festive Foliage stamp set and paired it with the smooching technique.  

The smooching technique is such a fun technique.  Using a large clear block, swipe the ink pad over the block transferring ink to the block.  Do this with each colour.  Then spritz the block with water and then hand sanitizer and watch the colour swirl.  Dry completely.  Stamp the image using versamark and then  pour white embossing powder over the image. Heat set. 

Stamps Used:  festive foliage, poinsettia petals

Ink:  pool party, coastal cabana, Bermuda Bay, pacific point, gorgeous grape

Card:  pool party, gorgeous grape, basic white, Bermuda Bay

Technique:  smooching technique

Week 3 of 12 Weeks of Christmas - Festive Foliage Stamp Set

Welcome to Week 3 of 12 Weeks of Christmas Cards.  This has been a great way of helping me decide what cards to make for Christmas this year.  This week I have teamed up with a sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  

I started by lining up my stamp in the stamparatus and lining up the basic white layer side ways.  I inked up with Soft Sea Foam and then used sponge daubers to add different greens to give a great monochromatic look.
