Ordination

I used this card for a young man recently ordained in the Catholic Church.  Although it is a flower stamp, it looks like a stained glass window with a little scroll work at the bottom of the image.  Alcohol ink was used on white glossy cardstock.  The stamped image from Magenta was stamped with Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder.  The image was layered on black Bazzil cardstock and copper cardstock.  The base of the card is gold shimmery cardstock.  The words from Technique Tuesday were stamped with black Versafine ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  A gold cord was added to the card to secure the note paper inside the card.

Magenta Ponsettia

This pointsettia stamp is by Magenta, one of my favorite stamp companies.  It was stamped with black Palette ink and colored with Copic markers.  The same stamp was used on the green Bazzil background cardstock.  The ribbon and gold circle Peel Offs are from Magenta.  In the center of the pointsettias I used a new product, gold Pearl Pen from Viva.

Magenta Collage

Magenta is one of my favorite stamp lines.  This image is out of my comfort zone, but I was determined to use it.  The image was stamped in black Versafine ink.  The bird and branch were colored with Prisma pencils.  The background was stippled with Royal Blue Versa Color ink.  White Inkessentials pen was used to add some white to the bird and the floral swirls.  The base cardstock is beige and was stamped with a floral swirl stamp from Hero Arts in Polar Blue Versa Color ink.  The stamped image was layered on black and then blue cardstock.  Words are from Technique Tuesday and were stamped with the same Royal Blue Versa Color ink.
