Welcome to the new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!
We have a fabulous new sponsor, Linnie Blooms. The LEAD of this challenge will receive a gift certificate to use at Linnie Blooms!
The DT was provided with Faber-Castell Gelatos by Linnie Blooms! I picked 50's Diner Mix & Match Gelatos Colors.
... and this is what I came up with:
First I inked up my image (giving you a sweet peek of the soon to be released Leafy Flourishes Background & More from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps) with VersaMark and Luxe Tuxedo Black ink. (I had a hard time inking up this big background image, so as you can see, it wasn't covered with black ink very well... the black is not very rich and dark.) Next I stamped the image on white card stock, and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then I rubbed Blood Orange, Banana, and a tiny bit of Acqua Dolce Gelatos on the card stock and using a wet paintbrush, I smoothed the colors out.
... and now, check out what the Curtain Call Designers came up with:
Lesley Croghan, Guest Designer
