Another SWAP Card!

This card was one I made for a STUFF swap.  We had to use eyelets or brads in any way or shape.

I began by brayering with a K-Pad over some glossy white paper....3 different pads

for 3 different looks.

Then I stamped the images (all by CTMH) and embossed them, cutting each one.

I layered them onto some yellow paper and then on black and finally on blue.

Before layering on the blue base I attached a circular brad to mimic some of the 

stamp designs and to tie in with the swap requirements.

Chalk Chaos Technique

This is a good technique for subtle shading.

Sponge 2 or 3 chalk colors over white glossy paper and mist with rubbing

alcohol, letting colors run a bit.

Then swipe a metallic inkpad over that and mist again with alcohol, letting colors run.

Seal with fixative and stamp over it.

I used images by Paper Inspirations, CTMH & Penny Black.

*Remember that it might not look very promising before

you overstamp!*
