IC1063 Bamboo Mahalo
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: ArtzadoniStudio

 I was inspired by https://kibaktile.com/products/crane...45641728163971
I screwed up my first try at a simple technique of pre-inking the embossing folder with white ink onto an intense blue cs. I didn't use enough ink, then used too much, didn't line it up correctly, blah blah blah, & had to toss it. What I was left with, however, was a blueish embossing folder, as the dye from the paper bled. So I went with a white CS to pick up the color. It worked, albeit lighter than I wanted, so when I brayed the darker blue over the pattern, I also added some to the background. I mixed up a small batch of gloss gel medium with some gold pigment powder and scraped it through the brass Mahalo stencil with a cut up credit card. Mounted the card onto that bright blue paper and then white felt CS.

Your effort really paid off. It’s a beautiful shade of blue and such a pretty card. I love the sentiment in gold.

You did a great job persevering with your technique! I’ve struggled many times with inking embossing folders! This is lovely in the soothing blue tones!

You can't beat blue and gold together. Love the serene feel of the bamboo.

Beautiful card! I selected the same tile motif but went in a very different direction! Love the simplicity of your design.
