Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded at 4.25
Card Face: 5.5 x 4.25
Card Face:
- I placed the card face on the Grip Mat and positioned the stencil.
- I applied metallic silver ink across all exposed areas.
- Although I routinely use blending brushes for dye inks, I use blending foams for pigment/metallic inks. This is mostly because I have a supply of foams (from my pre-brush era) and I want to have a dedicated foam to each colour of metallic/pigment ink.)
- After removing the stencil I placed the card face into the stamp positioner and added the sentiment with Versafine Onyx.
- I used the edge of the ink pad to apply a narrow border of silver ink to all edges of the card face.
Assembly
- I glued the card face to the card base.
Final Thoughts:
I needed a simple but elegant thank you card – this duet more than met the challenge!
