thank you resist

Hey there! :) Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I have several out of town family members coming this Tuesday that I'm preparing for, not to mention Father's Day, as well as my hubby's birthday that also falls next week... lots to do. :)

Here's a card that was pub'ed in SNR a few months ago for a "Stamping Double" assignment - an assignment that required us to use more than one stamp on our project:



The script was stamped first with an olive ink, then the fern was stamped and heat embossed with clear EP on top of that. Then I brayered the same olive ink over the entire thing, producing a resist of the fern (the script shows up much more here in the photo than it does IRL... not sure why). I chose this sentiment because I thought it matched the script under the fern. Piercing and pewter brads finish it off. :)

I'm working on scheduling a few posts to publish while I'm entertaining next week. Have a wonderful Father's day, and I'll see ya on the other side of the chaos! ;)

SUPPLIES: Georgia Pacific and SU! card stocks, Hero Arts stammps (CL142 and S5154), SU! True Thyme and Memories ink, and Making Memories brads
