Today I have tried this Ready Steady Stamp challenge and after a few problems with my faux-batik (I used tissue paper to iron with and it stuck!) I have finally made a card.
The faux-batik is on an Edinburgh Evening News article about this weekend’s highland gathering so I used a Scottish theme throughout.
After making the faux-batik background I then sprinkled it with embossing powder and heated from beneath, then edged with the same powder.
The Celtic cat is stamped onto acetate and glittered on the underside then stuck onto the same coloured card as the card base.
Oops… I have taken the photo before the glue has dried so you can still see some glue on the rim of the circle.
Inks: black stazon, black versafine, versamark (with gold embossing powder)
