Make it Mine Monday! Today’s card is CASEd from the very talented Kimberly Van Diepen. As you can see by comparing the two cards I didn’t change much at all. I basically just left off the sentiment and switched up the linen thread for gold metallic thread (which is hard to see on the picture of my card).
Even though the cards look similar I used a different technique on the colored flowers. Kimberly used the Rock ‘n Roll technique. She first stamped the solid flower in So Saffron ink and then gently rolled the edges of the stamp in Mint Macaron ink.
I had a bit of trouble with that technique….I couldn’t get the soft look on the flowers that Kimberly had so I came up with a different plan. I first inked up my solid flower stamp in So Saffron ink and then I took my sponge dauber, inked it up in Bermuda Bay ink and ever so lightly dabbed a bit of color on the ends of the solid flower stamp before stamping on the paper. I really liked the way my flowers turned out and will definitely be trying this technique again.
So, I did survive Pastor DJ’s last Sunday with us at our church yesterday. There were plenty of 
tears shed but he put a light spin on things so there were a few chuckles too. He didn’t wear the cowboy hat during the entire service but he did wear the vest the whole time. Gotta love him! 🙂 God speed DJ and Happy Trails!
Have a great day everyone! Take care and Happy Stamping!
