Hi! I'm back. And sorry to be so late with these challenges. There's still time for both, but not long. The first challenge for this card was Our Creative Corner's Challenge "Kiss the Card and a Twist". I can't say I've never been kissed, but I've never kissed a stamp before. Well, it's time for me to kiss and tell. There are several ways to do it and OCC has a great link. My choice was to ink a solid stamp (a Blossom from SU Build a Blossom) with a light colored ink and stamp that stamp with a non-solid stamp (I used Tim Holtz Fabulous Flourishes) after inking it in a darker ink. It's a technique I will be using again. The twist of the challenge is to use X & O. 
The second challenge is Studio L3's Compendium of Curiosities 2, Challenge 20. Linda (she's the "L" in Studio L3) gives a page # and technique from Tim Holtz's Compendium of Coruisities books. This one is page 44 in volumn 2, which is enameled stamping. The rule is, I can't tell you how to do it (or why would Tim write the book), but I strongly suggest that if you like things Tim, go get both 1 & 2 of his Compendium of Curiosities. You won't be sorry.
So without further ado, may I present XOX.
In the first picture of the whole card you can ssee the kissing I did on the pedals. After kissing them I punched out nine and glued their sides together using little clamps from the hardware store. I then flatten them out and attached two different enameled pieces. So how pitted and cool that is. They are also have a cool texture and I'm really liking that.
If you have any questions, drop me a line. Thanks for stopping!

ReplyDeleteWOW-zer (notice the variation of WOW). This is a very pretty card. The blue kissing is very pretty, something I've never done and will have to try. I really like how you arranged the petals!

ReplyDeleteHi Lisa. I'm so glad you joined us for our "kissing technique" challenge on Our Creative Corner. I love what you have done with this technique and your card is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHello Lisa :) (Wonderful name by the way!) I just have to say that you've taken this challenge and run with it. Your nine gorgeous kissed petals are sensational. You've paired beautiful details together here with the impressions on your petals to the background paper and you definitely cannot miss the X and O! I'm so happy you enjoyed this challenge.
