This card was inspired by Ando Hiroshige's untitled piece at art.com. I masked the border with large post-it notes and used a stipple brush to create the blue background. I left the mask in place, stamped the bamboo and dragonflies, then stamped the sentiment (Double Happiness), which came out crooked. ARGH! So I stamped it again on a scrap of cardstock, cut it out, and layered it over the mistake. Ahhhh. Much better.
Hope you like this one. I did, and made a bunch of other cards using the background technique. Look for them in an upcoming post.
Supplies
stamps: Hero Arts, sentiment unknown
cardstock: PTI white
ink: Memories soft stone, Versamagic hint of pesto, dark brown
accessories: stipple brush, post-it notes
WOW!! I LOVE this!! I really have to try out that tech. using a post it note! Everytime I see a card done with it I just love it! This is gorgeous! I really like the detail in the left bottom corner it really adds the artist touch to it...I was in bed for a few days with a migrane and have missed some of your new cards...Glad to be back in the swing of things!
