Very Versailles Thank You

Very Versailles with Painted Poppies "splodges"!

I love the images in the Very Versailles stamp set - so I can't really understand why it's one of the most under-utilised sets in my collection.  Time to correct that!

I stamped the frame image with Terracotta Tile ink and covered it with a mask before stamping the script image in the same ink but stamped off once (tap the stamp into the ink, stamp onto a scrap piece of paper and then stamp onto the project). 

I then stamped the foliage and lace with Shaded Spruce ink.  Using one of the "splodge" stamps from the Painted Poppies stamp set, I tapped into Shaded Spruce ink, stamped off once (see above) and then randomly stamped around the edges of the project until I ran out of ink.  I repeated this process until I was satisfied with the balance.

A few self-adhesive sequins finish the Very Versailles card

Having removed the mask, I stamped the greeting with Shaded Spruce ink.

The base card is Shaded Spruce and there's a layer of Terracotta Tile.  

The final touch was to add some Adhesive Backed Sequins in the luminescent pale green shade.

Thank you for visiting.

'Til next time!

A bold watercoloured Painted Poppies image with a subdued background

Rather than take up a lot of space here in the Blog Hop, I'll provide more details in my next post where I'll share how I rescued and used the manky-looking test piece shown below!

Here you can see the masks I used and my initial plan, which ended up as a test piece because I didn't like the composition

Thank you so much for joining us today and we hope you'll join us again next month when we'll be preparing for the new Annual Catalogue by farewelling the outgoing In-colours.
