Faux Batik
For card #3 this weekend, I was looking for ideas for a couple of “anything goes” challenges when I saw a tutorial on Batik Stamping by Norine Hope. Her cards were so beautiful I immediately wanted to give it a try. So here is the card that I plan to enter in both the Lavinia World Challenges #44 and The House That Stamps Built - Anything Goes Challenge ~ J621.
I used the Altenew Grape Leaves stamp & die set, with Distress Oxide Inks in Tumbled Glass, Iced Spruce, and Weathered Wood. For the embossing I used Versamark ink and Hero Arts White Detail embossing powder.
When done, I attached it to a white A6 card base. I then embossed the Happy Birthday on a strip of vellum and attached it by putting a thin line of glue right on each end of the vellum & sticking it to the card. Lastly, I added 2 cream color skeleton leaves and some clear rhinestones.
Thanks for stopping by!
