Hi peeps,
A very quick post from me today. Just wanted to share with you a technique I have just learnt. It is called the kissing technique where Joanna from Inspired by stamping explains it here.
This is my card using this technique.
Ooops. This picture is blurry but the colour is better than the other pictures I have. I'm really not that good at taking pictures.
The image used is Anzac Poppies by Beccy at Beccy's Place. Coloured with copics and popped up with foam tape.
This is a picture showing the use of the kissing technique close up. The technique is basically stamping straight onto the embossing folder and when you emboss, the stamped image transfers onto your paper but only on the debossed areas. Makes sense? Joanna explains it better with pictures. Check out her site with the link above.
With this technique I wanted to emulate blades of grass with butterflies hidden in it.
This card was inspired by Brenda's blog (Floral Fantasies) header. She has a blog celebration going on with amazing prizes here. Go check it out, you'll want to join in.
Thanks for visiting today.

Hello Phi,
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous, I really like how you have highlighted just some of the poppy flowers which really makes them pop from the card and draws the eye.
Thank you so much for joining in my blog celebration.

ReplyDeleteHello Phi,
ReplyDeletethank you for your nice compliment about my aquarel, it made me very happy!
Your card is awesome! I've heard of this technique and I find it looks great! I'll surely try it soon! I also love how you've arranged the flowers! The fact of having added some floxers in 3D, gives real depth to this "picture" ...and all this on kraft paper!! It's simply stunning!
I wish you a beautiful day ...

So pretty. Love how just some of the image is colored. Thanks for playing along with the Bit O'Green Challenge this week over on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog!
ReplyDeleteThe poppies look fabulous Phi, cutting them out and popping them out has really brought them to life. Good job on the kissing technique too, I think it looks just like butterflies hiding in long grass... well done!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
