Sometimes I like to take older card designs and freshen them up just a bit. Today I have one of my favorite techniques on a redo - split negative stamping.
This stamp is a great one from River City Rubber Works. I precut the cardstock layers, used versamark to ink up the stamp and stamped it onto the dual color layer. I then embossed the white cardstock with black embossing powder and the black cardstock with white embossing powder. The trick is to lay down the powder fairly quickly but after that you have a bit more time when it comes to heating the powder.
The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink, I think and is stamped with Memento tuxedo ink.
And to show you how much of a paper collector I am, this paper is EK Success blue jean wash paper dated 2002!
Gorgeous weather this weekend made this the perfect card to showcase. Hope you have a wonderful night!
What a fab card! I always emboss with my Versamark, it's the way I was taught, I think it's the best way :) I'll have to do a card with that technique, great!!
