Welcome to our weekly Artisan Design Team Blog Hop. This week we are showcasing our projects that appeared on the Stampin' Up! Facebook page this past Friday. For my project I created a card using a somewhat different technique. At first glance you might wonder "what stamp is that?" I stamped the Hey There Buds stamp with Blushing Bride ink, traced it with a Project Life Journaling Pen, and then colored the image with Blendabilities markers. This is a great way to give your solid image stamps an entirely different look.

After I colored the flowers I used a sponge dauber and some Bermuda Bay ink to color the background. Next I sponged some Early Espresso ink around the edges and then heavily distressed the edges. I mounted everything on Basic Black cardstock and then on Gold Foil cardstock. It is really difficult to see in this photo, but the gold foil really gives this card an elegant feel.
For the greeting I stamped the "for you" from the Hello There stamp set with VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder.
That's all for today. Now head over to see the awesome projects Erica Cerwin and the rest of the team have made this week.
