Another Grass Card

Two posts in one day! I haven't done that in awhile. The Hero Arts Grass Silhouette has gotten some of my creative juices flowing again, or should I say finally!

Same stamp and very similar design to todays earlier card but they have a different feel.  For this I embossed the grass in white ep on white glossy cardstock and then coloured the paper and grass with alcohol inks. The inks stain the ep but you sand it and the white starts to show through and you get a mottled effect. The grass is still raised but not as much as when originally embossed. I stamped the sentiment on sandpaper for some texture and I added a couple of butterflies.


























Thanks for stopping by!
