Negative Cutout

Today's card was another experiment which came out nicely, I think. I started out with guidelines from Joan's Touch where we are to make a card using an EF (perhaps with inking in some form), a sentiment, butterfly and an item sold at Joan's Gardens. Items you may purchase there are in this color.

The Spellbinders Enchanted EF was used; after running it through the eBosser, it was inked with pink ink, but--oh, my! My pink ink is so in your face hot pink! I toned it down with some yellow ink run over the same places with a brayer. This created a softer look. Then the whole piece was sprayed with Krylon Clear Spray to give it some shine.

Next, a negative cutout of a frame was placed on top of the embossed piece in a color that was in my stash. A Stampabilities "Palm of His Hand" stamp was used with the same blend of pink and yellow inks and the edges were inked also in the same inks. It is attached with pop dots. An orange rolled rose was doctored up with pink ink on the edges and placed in the lower left corner; Martha Stewart Five Leaf punches were placed around it.

I had some vellum that had been embossed, but had not turned out as well as expected that I had from another project, and a piece had just been lying around looking at me....  I punched a butterfly out of it with a SU Butterfly punch for the top layer of the butterfly, then two plain layers from the same punch. They were also inked with pink and yellow, glued together, then embellished with liquid pearls.

Here is the card:

This is a picture of the background sprayed with clear gloss. In retrospect, another coat or two of the gloss would probably have made it even more shiny:

Romans 10:9-11

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. NLT
