Two of my favorite people are celebrating their anniversary today *OK, it was yesterday) --- Ken and Jennifer! Happy Anniversary to my dear friends. I remember their wedding vividly and what an amazing day it was. A day full of love, happiness and laughter. I wish you both those things for the rest of your lives together. I love you!
This uses a technique that I learned in Jennifer and Shari's class... Trapped resist. You start with a piece of glossy paper and stamp Versamark on your "main" image. Used Hero Arts' Flower Bird Garden cling stamp.
I then inked up this stamp with Ranger Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.
Then kiss the two stamps together so that the fabric pattern is now on the Versamark background of the bird stamp. Then stamp with it on glossy paper. Let it dry. Once it has dried apply Ranger Peeled Paint Distress Ink over the top. It will adhere to the un-inked part of the paper. The blue, Fabric stamp image is "trapped" under the versamark so it just shows through where it was stamped. Love this technique!
Here is the card from class
we love you too. THANK YOU!! lovely card!

Photo tip? Be sure you're near a window with as much natural light as possible. Don't get super-close to the actual card, but zoom in from further away. It seems that the photograph is actually out of focus - so your view-finder (depending on what kind of camera you own/use), could be off (on DSLRs, you can adjust them to fit your eye focus).I think the problem is partly that you're too close to the card. Take a step back - and then when you crop/zoom they shouldn't be so blurred.
Lemme know if you want more suggestions - I'm a big of a photography nerd on top of my card making!
