Today's card is a collage card. Items' used are:
- Vintage Clock die Sizzix
- Hot off the Press
- Blue Peacock paper
- Vellum rose
- Black Dazzles Stickers
- Distress inks Ranger
- Picked Raspberry to color roses
- Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo, Brushed Pewter to color white ribbon
- White diamond pattern ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon
- Papers from Graphic 45 Worlds Fair Journaling Notes
- Blue shimmer paper for the clock face
What I was most excited about for this card is that this was my first go at coloring or staining the white diamond ribbon I bought. I love the pattern to this. It really gives my card an elegant touch. (If you are interested in looking at the colors go to www.reasonableribbon.com The online store is really great. I've never had a complaint. They've go this monthly ribbon club for $10 where you can get 6-7 different ribbons. Its great for one's ribbons stash!)
Anyway, I used Ranger's Distress line of stains and some metallic silver. It worked out quite well. I was concerned that darker stains would not show the diamond pattern.
For the picture below, I used a small paintbrush and a Picked Raspberry ink pad to color the roses. I sprayed a little plain water on a clean brush and went over them again to create a slight watercolor effect. I edged the picture in Vintage Photo.
