MAKE IT MONDAY #293: COLOR SLIDER CARDS

MIM Thinking Of You Card

-Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and a color slider card.

My oh my!!! What a challenging challenge!

I won't even tell you how long this one took!!!
I wanted an image I didn't have to color...and I had to do it twice because the first one was just too ugly...
I do not have Staz On ink, YIKES!!!
So the one I'm posting uses vellum. I just could not get away with the smearing with regular ink.

I LOVE the technique but you apparently HAVE to use Staz On...

So...here it is...
Not my best work...my image is very hard to see...





Also the line image is a bit too dark so it overshadowed the colored image...
In retrospect I could have used a purple ink on the vellum. I tried using a colored ink on the original acetate. EPIC fail. I got so frustrated, I just let it be!

Probably should have kept this one to myself... :(

Thank you for looking at my blog!

  3. I like it! This challenge intimidated me, plus I didn't have any Stazon, so I opted out this time. Brava!

  4. Amazon is a definite must for stamping on acetate, but using vellum was a great 2nd choice and I think your card came out beautifully! This challenge was a bit of a struggle for me too and very time consuming, but it's good for us to challenge ourselves...I think! 😊

  8. At least you tried this challenge, Susan, and I love your results. I just couldn't get into the challenge this week because I knew it would be time-consuming, and I wasn't up to forcing my brain to decide on stamps and dies to use. Too much heat and smoke in WA to concentrate on anything. No, we don't have AC, and it's been in the high 90s!
