Greeting Card For July 31

Here is the card I made at Cherish The Thought for the Sat Neat Nique. For this we used a fern stamp and stamped it with Versamark on shiny cardstock, the drew random circles with a clear glaze pen. Next step was to brayer ink from a Big and Juicy Waterfall ink pad onto the cardstock, then rubbed with a tissue to reveal the fern and circles. Now we used a different fern stamp and stamped it on another shiny cardstock. This was layered over coloured cardstock, then over the masked and brayered piece, over another cardstock and finally on a green card black
I think it's very pretty and this is the first time I did masking and brayering ink like this. Big fun and I need a Big and Juicy ink pad.

very nice. love the colors you used. The resist backgrounds are very addictive. I love doing them.

PS I have a tendency to stay away from multi colored ink pads, since if you don't store them right (or if they weren't shipped right), all the inks merge together.

I prefer making my own stamp pads with reinkers, & a piece of foam or felt and storing it in a plastic baggie. Or using Adirondack pads that separate when you're not using them.

Joanne this is a very pretty card. Thanks for the instructions too. I have used the shiny cardstock only a couple of times and need to try this out with this resist technique. And that is good advice from Yogi too.
Lovely card!
