Sunshiny Day

This week’s makes are the ones I made for the Visible Image ATC swap last month.   The theme was ‘Portrait or Landscape’ and you had to make the style that you least used.  I had no idea that I normally gravitate towards landscape – my score was 11-6 in favour of landscape – so mine was to be a portrait challenge.

To begin, I heat-embossed in copper the sunflower and sentiment from Grunge Sunflower.  I used the new Visible Image metallic watercolours which cover drawn or stamped lines but the heat embossing resists the paint so makes the colouring easier.  You can see the lovely sheen to these paints in the top sunflower.

Next, I did a little stencilling using the Light Trails stencil and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide.

To finish the card panel and ATC, I heat-embossed the edges by dragging each edge across my Versamark pad and then adding the copper powder and heat-setting it.

The card was finished by matting on blue and yellow card to pick up the colours in the picture.
