Ahhh ! Ahhh! TISSUE and Stamps !

Well Hello ! I guess it's been a while and yes you may have noticed that I have been absent for 14 weeks no less and for those of you who didn't know I had a wee accident and fractured my ankle on both sides which was down to a certain puppy's rope toy that had been left outside my back porch door which I did not see and so the rest is history but thankfully I'm on the mend all be it slowly but surely. I would like to thank all the lovely people for all the kind words and well wishes that you sent me it was much appreciated xx
So what have we in store for our first class back well I had better tell you, this is quite an old technique which I have to say Francoise reminded of recently so I thought you would like to try it.
It involves the use of tissue paper and spray inks with a clear layer of embossing powder over the top.
Hope you like it OH! and by the way messy fingers may also be involved lol!

Black Stazon ink pad
Versafine ink pad
Clear embossing powder
Heat gun
The stamp set was free with the Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine issue 179
It is actually the set I had intended using before my little accident.
I also used a background stamp from my stash.

I used the Izinks to create a coloured border which finished off the main panel.

 I have used Stazon ink to stamp with because on the first one I made the Versafine ink took forever to dry.

Once the main panel was completed I highlighted the flowers with my Spectrum Noir Metallic Pens.




Back soon with card no. 2 x
So why do I get unexpected visitors when I've so much to do, my son called with my youngest granddaughter Taylor to see Nanna! How lovely  but you came yesterday and the day before, do I see a pattern forming???? It seems to happen when his partner has gone to her new job, bright side Becky is only working 3 days a week and my son is left holding the baby 👼 Mum !!!!!!! Lol!
So onto second card which I have just finished but the photos aren't that good so here is a clue it just needs the flowers and sentiment on this photo.
 Same techniques as before it has been stamped onto tissue paper then embossed with clear powder



You can't see the shine unless you click on the photos and enlarge them.




So I will try and add in a photo of the finished card if I get the chance later.
Guess I will see you soon xx
