Julie's Color Concoction #26

  I am going easy on you this week.  The JCC26 colors are :

• white
• any one color

That's it.  You use white and then one color, not shades of a color - ONE COLOR!  I chose not quite navy for mine.  The base is the navy, and then white stamped with bella toile and sponged. 

Then I went on to my flowers.  I chose Upsy Daisy and stamped them in versamark on white, embossing them with clear EP.  I then inked up my brayer with not quite navy, and rolled it onto scrap paper before going over the image.  This really softened the color, since I didn't want it too dark.  Then I plugged in my iron, and made a sandwich (ironing sandwich that is...hehehe).

1. towel
2. embossed CS (image up)
3. scrap paper (white, no printing on it)

Then, with your iron on high and no steam, go over top of the scrap paper until all the embossing product has transfered over .  You are now left with a image, but nothing else on the paper.  I then used 2 way glue and added some dazzling diamonds to the flowers.  This was added with dimensionals to the white matted on navy.

The image panel was attached to the base with dimensionals, after I tied on some ribbon.  Finally, I stamped the sentiment from the same set, inking up only part of it with my marker.  I punched it out with the word window and used more dimensionals for that, too.

So, now it is your turn!  Use JCC26 on your uploads to SCS, or link back here from our blog.  Then next Sunday, I'll add them to the post, so everyone can see your great work!  Let's see how many we can get, have fun and happy stamping!!

Pretty card Julie-one question-why do you heat the embossing and take it off? I think the tea lights you made are just so beautiful!

Missed the post earlier about your back. So sorry-so painful. After I had back surgery for a ruptured disc the nurse told me that changing sheets and running the vacumn sweeper was two of the hardest things on your back. I now get on my knees to put the fitted sheet around the corners and I try not to do much tugging. DH does most of the vacumning-bless his heart!!
