I really didn't think that the ladies would like the colour combo but they all agreed that it was certainly different and quite striking - and they really enjoyed making the card. Here's how it's done:
Stamp Set: Season of Joy
Inks: Going Gray, Basic Gray, Kiwi Kiss, Basic Black, Tangerine Tango, Versamark
Cardstock: Whisper White, Tangering Tango, Basic Black
Accessories: Word Window Punch, Sponges, Brads, Dazzling Diamonds, Brayer, Post-it Note, Heat & Stick Powder, Heat Tool.
Stamp the swirly stamp in Versamark onto the top half of the Whisper White and let it dry for a few minutes before loading up the brayer with Going Gray ink and rolling it across the top half of the card. You will find that the Versamark resists the ink and shows up the swirly design.
Next, turn the card around and brayer the Kiwi Kiss ink across the bottom half. Try to leave a lighter patch between the two colours. Sponge the edges with Basic Gray. Stamp the Christmas Tree twice with Basic Black ink. Tear a post-it note to mask off the tree areas and sponge Going Gray ink to the base of the trees - this gives the impression of un-even ground. Stamp Merry Christmas with Tangerine Tango ink.
Now for the BLING !! Swipe over the whole piece with an embossing buddy (anti-static) before stamping the tiny flower randomly with Versamark all over the scene. Sprinkle with Heat & Stick Powder and heat till it melts, follow with the Dazzling Diamonds and another quick blast of the heat tool to set it.
Punch a word window from the black cardstock and cut it in half before sticking the two pieces into place on the card. Pierce a hole through and pop in a gold brad. Assemble onto the Tangerine Tango card.
It looks a bit complicated but it really isn't so don't be afraid to give it a go :)
