"Hues of Autumn"
Stamp Artist - Verna Angerhofer

This card was developed in
a different course from which I would have normally done my card.
Earlier I had been doing sponging on glossy cardstock with the
Posh Impressions Caribbean Inkabilities Sponge inks and I had
a plain piece of paper underneath in which the overlapping inks
would be gathered, not realizing that when I was done that a
beautiful background paper would be the result.
I took my newly created background paper and stamped, in black
ink, the open end of Posh Impression's duet leaf stamp and embossed
with clear embossing powder, cut it out and mounted it onto dark
green cardstock. Then I mounted the dark green cardstock with
the leaves on it onto another piece of background paper and then
onto black cardstock, and finally onto another piece of dark
green cardstock.
A very simple, yet elegant design. |

Watercolor sticks were used to apply pigment directly to the
rubber.
The stamps were then misted with water and the images stamped
on watercolor paper. The shadows were added with watercolor from
my palette.
The plaid background paper was made using Posh Impressions Rainbow
Inks and sponges.
The pieces were layered with solid paper; Ribbon, punched heart
and glitter were added as embellishment. |

I used a paper circle and Gold UTEE, 4 layers, then pressed Posh
Impressions Corn (2642E) in it. Then when cooled pulled out and
brushed impression with 653 Red Russet Pearl-Ex.
Then I daubed Plum pigment ink on the edges of the round where
the Gold UTEE didn't reach and let air dry. Mounted to bronze
metallic paper then
marbleized paper then card.
All paper and card corners punched - used family
treasures and all night media punches.

- Stamp cougar image with black dye-based ink on a glossy white
card stock slightly off center (to the right) and emboss with
clear embossing powder.
- Paint cougar image with 561 Metallic Gold LUMIERE paint and
let dry.
- Using direct to paper technique, highlight cougar with copper,
orange and yellow pigment inks using cotton ball or sponge of
your choice to blend. As you color the cougar, the colors will
overlap the image to create the background that also includes
black dye-based ink. |
- After applying the colors to the cougar, some of the embossed
outlines may diminish. Use a .03 black pigment pen to touch up
some of the lines covered by the paint to enhance the cougar
image.
- Attach a scrap of background paper to the left edge of the
white card, sizing the strip to allow the cougar to be the center
of the exposed card (I used an Asian calligraphy paper).
- Glue the white card to a slightly larger rust card, and use
a strip of the rust paper to set off the left side of the card
as shown. Attach the completed image to a folded white card.
- Embellish the card as shown. (I found the Asian beads at a
local craft store.) |
