Reflecting the Past in a Blog Hop

The Inky Girls are going to be showing you older sets from Artful INKables today. If you arrived here from Joanne’s blog then you’re in the right place, if not, no worries! You can start here and work your way through.

You know me, I love working with flowers, so no surprise I chose Plant Prints! I did a little marker to rubber and emboss resist.

I colored the rubber with Copics then spritzed with alcohol to “renew” the color on the stamp. Since Copics are alcohol based markers, you can’t spritz the image with water like other markers to moisten the “ink”.
Then I stamped the flowers, re-coloring and spritzing each time. When I was happy with this particular image, I went over them with my Versamarker, sprinkled clear embossing powder over and heat set with my heat tool. This way the next generation of stamping wouldn’t cover up what has already been put down!

I did the leaves next, following the above technique then added the little blue flowers… again embossing them.

Now for the total transformation of the emboss resist…Sponging on Distress inks!

Although I’ll admit, I did like it with the stark white background too! I guess that just means I’ll have to do another *wink*
I sponged on the inks starting at the bottom and working up in this order: Peeled Paint, Dried Marigold, Scattered Straw, Broken China and Worn Lipstick

I’ve had this printed vellum forever and just never think to use it! Cutting the words apart worked out perfectly! A little corner treatment with the Cuttlebug die and a corner punch… and voila! I’m done! The Prism layers are Razzleberry medium and dark.

Now, it’s on to the next person in the hop… Elena!

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping!
