| Seek Him Still |
I decided on a clean and simple (CAS) layout for my card, and kept color to a minimum. The collage image is stamped in Brilliance Lightning Black ink, which is a beautiful black and gold mix. I used a stipple brush to apply chalk ink to the image, masking off each area at a time to create the appearance of rays coming from the star. I also used the Grunge Borders diamond stamp to create some interest in the background. The edges of the main panel are painted with gold acrylic paint by Lumiere.
Here's a different angle on the image so you can see the shimmer of the Brilliance ink and gold paint! Shiny!
After you leave a comment here you'll be hopping on to Gloria's blog! She is our guest designer this month. Hope you are enjoying the hop!
