Restful Christmas Card (Penny Black)
A few months ago, I watched a tutorial on how to use a Penny Black Slapstick stamp called "Restful". I tried to source this stamp in the UK, but it seemed to be sold out, so I ordered it from America. It arrived and has sat on my desk for a couple of weeks. Today I decided to try the technique out.
Although I have a lot of crafting stash, I didn't have many of the exact products used in the tutorial, so I improvised with what I had.
This photo is my second attempt at the card. The first one went wrong because I did not follow my instincts and the result ended in the bin - so lesson learnt!
For my version, I have used the following items: Versafine "Vintage Sepia", various shades of Memento and Cats Eyes inks. Versamark clear ink pad, clear embossing powder, Distress Inks, Signo Pen, Gesso for the snow flakes.
Fabulous card and great technique have just watched the video-think I need a misti lol
