This card was made for a swap that required a brayered background. The main image is a brayered resist. I stamped first with versamark using stamps by Hero Arts then brayer in the background colour and the Versamark resists the inks. I used an Adirondack Rainbow inkpad (Wild Flower) for the background.The matting layer is also a fun background technique - I used Cut and Dry foam to blend Distress Inks (Faded Jeans, Dusty Concorde and Vintage Photo) onto some white card in a random way then spritzed this with water. Next I used a fairly wet sponge to dab on gold mica poweder from the Luminarte Polished Pigments range and then spritzed this again - this makes the Distress inks move some more and they carry the mica with them giving a lovely diffused look.
The card base is cream card which I have stamped with the same stamps as used for the main image using the Wild Flowers Adirondack Rainbow pad.
Ooooh, This is gorgeous! I love the colour combination and will have to try that background technique! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love both these backgrounds Phree. Do you think perhaps Ranger used the same colours that you used for your matting layer on their Wild Flower rainbow pad? They are almost a perfect match!
ReplyDeleteThe way you have stamped it is beautiful too.
