ATC A Month - Themes Valentine or Color Copper (January 2008)

Modified: June 1, 2008

Valentines

Recently we had a CBH Challenge to use Rubber stamp alphabets. I had this print makers rubber stamp sheet which I had used to make several backgrounds on white cardstock using silver, gold or black inks and embossing them with the matching color embossing powders. All the squares were made from mat board and covered with the white tissue paper background from another CBH Challenge using sprays and mists. The tissue paper picked up all the residues left behind from other prints made. Gave quite a mottled and colorful background. The hearts were made with Premo (red pearl and gold) and thanks to Monica for introducing me to the fabulous Makin's Clay extruder (with the screw mechanism) which makes coils and other shapes as easy as using a knife to cut soft butter. All words were written with a black micron pen. All squares were covered with a layer of Diamond Glaze which also affixed the hearts.
