Doesn't this card have a slightly Asian flair? I love the "feel" the artist created. The artist is Jamilla Ivits, a member of my team of demonstrators.
At first glance, I thought Jamilla stamped on designer paper, a huge trend right now. Instead, Jamilla created the effect of designer paper by stamping two images on the Groovy Guava piece. The leafy image is white embossed and then she overstamped the flower image with Ruby Red ink. The embossing resists the ink - neat, eh?
ETA: Jamilla's technique was to stamp the leafy image in Versamark on vanilla cardstock and emboss with clear embossing powder, brayer over top with Groovy Guava and then stamp the flower stem with Ruby Red. Wow - great effect, eh?!
She used 3 brads for some visual interest on the left, and tore and rolled the Kraft cardstock. The Kraft cardstock is stamped with the Define Your life set - this set is SO versatile for cardmakers and scrapbookers! And the rub-ons from the Urban West collection set off the sentiment.
Thanks so much, Jamilla, for participating in my New Set swap, and for allowing me to share your card.
