This card was a happy accident. I had previously stamped this image with Clearsnap's line of Chalk Ink in Candied Yam, and I was just playing around with these stamps to see what I could create. To achieve this look, I did not clean my stamp between inking. Actually, I rarely clean my stamps!!!!
I decided to ink up the stamp again with Clearsnap's Sea Crystal. I love using these inks because they really bring out the details in these Thomas Kinkade stamps. As you can see, there is a touch of Candied Yam mixed amongst my stamped image.
I purposely did not add any additional color to the image because I think the effect I achieved is wonderful. Matting the image on brown cardstock and then blue pattern paper really helps the image pop. The sentiment is from Script Essential Expressions .
Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to stop by and see what the other designers have been creating with the Thomas Kinkade stamps this week.
Love this one! Love the look of stampscapes. Great card
