For a chance to be featured in our Won Our Hearts - Coup de Coeur post...
Ces temps-ci, j’ai plaisir à retrouver d’anciens modèles d’étampes de Magenta. J’ai toujours aimé celui-ci, un peu farfelu, pour moi qui aime les chats tout comme les chevaux. Il a un léger parfum de contes de fées qui n’est pas pour me déplaire.
La mise en couleur est pratiquement la même, au crayon de couleur. La différence d’effet réside dans la couleur de fond du papier, le beige plus foncé permet d’accentuer les contrastes par l’emploi du crayon blanc.
These days, I enjoy finding old models of Magenta stamps. I've always loved this one, a little funny, for me who loves cats and horses alike. It has a slight scent of fairy tales
which I like too.
The coloring is practically the same with colored pencil. The difference in effect lies in the background color of the paper, the darker beige accentuates the contrasts
by using white pencil.
Welcome back to Magenta Super Saturday! It’s time to start making Valentine’s cards at my house and today I have a very quick an easy one. It features two of my favorite Magenta stamps, the Heart Tapestry and “Love Makes the World Go Round.”
I cut a piece of 110# white cardstock to measure 4” x 5 ½”. I placed it in my stamp positioner, then
positioned the heart stamp in the upper left corner of the cardstock. I inked the stamp with two shades of pigment
ink and stamped the image. I slid the
cardstock up (without moving the stamp) about 2 1/8”. I cleaned the stamp, reinked and stamped the
second heart image. I repeated the same
process a third time, then embossed the images with clear embossing
powder. I stamped the sentiment and
embossed it with clear embossing powder also.
I had originally planned something more elaborate for this
card like ink smooshing with Distress Inks or trimming the strip of hearts and
matting it on a strip of gold cardstock and then adding it onto another piece of cardstock where the sentiment was stamped. However, after I finished the
embossing, I decided that I liked the simplicity of the card and decided to stop. I matted the card, adhered it to an A2 card, then
added a few gems for a bit of sparkle.
This turned out to be a very quick card.
Thanks for visiting the Magenta blog today.
