Make It Monday #224: Two-Toned Stamped Sentiments

Hi! Thanks for visiting Honeybeelane. PRIZE ALERT through 27 Sept! Make sure you read to the end of this post.

So! I’m here with a quick post for Make It Monday #224. This week Danielle’s showed us how to make a two-toned sentiment with stamps and dies.  Go here, to see her tips for this super fun technique!

Here are Danielle’s cards:

Here’s mine:  I stamped the sentiment in black ink on the red die cut. Then I stamped in VersaMark on the white cs and heat embossed in red. Next, I traced the sentiment in white and black. Lastly, I traced the entire sentiment in Glossy Accents. I’m not sure that I like the busyness of the 3 colors.

So, I think that I will try re-making this card with this technique, but next time I will use white embossing powder on the red card stock instead of black ink. I used PTI’s Heart Cover Plate Die and Graceful Greetings and Choose Joy stamps sets.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi! Thanks for visiting Honeybeelane. PRIZE ALERT through 27 Sept! Make sure you read to the end of this post.

I’m here with a couple of cards that were inspired by Papertrey Ink’s September Blog Hop Challenge.

I love chalk boards and chalkboard art, so I knew that I wanted to play along when I saw the inspiration photo for this month.

Gorgeous!

Here’s my first card: (I’m going to play this one over at the first ever Link-up Challenge at ChouxChoux Paper Art! I’m also playing this over at Seize the Birthday’s “Anything Goes”.

  I used PTI’s Graceful Greetings, Quilted: Autumn and Twig Wreath.

Here’s my second card which was also inspired by this week’s Fusion Challenge: Peacock Dynasty.

I used PTI’s Wee Folk, Graceful Greetings, Quilted: Autumn and Twig Wreath on this second card.
