Challenge #22 - A Technique Challenge

Hello and welcome to another great challenge from the Inspiring Inkin' Stampin' Up team. This fortnight our challenge is to make a Magic “Proscenium” Card. The side twist is to use white ink to create a stamped background.

The lovely Elaine made one of these cards for the Inspiring Inkin' quarterly team meeting so I asked if we could do one for this challenge blog as they look gorgeous and she very kindly agreed and has put instructions on her blog on this post. The card looks quite complicated but it was actually really easy to do and Elaine's instructions are very easy to follow too.

Here's Elaine's card using this technique. Isn't that colour scheme just stunning?! The first photo shows the card when it is closed.

And this is the card when open - what a fabulous scene inside!

Recipe:

Stamps: Garden Whimsy

Paper: Basic Black, Real Red, Gable Green, Whisper white, Vellum

And here's my card, closed. I just love the effect of Whisper White ink on the Close To Cocoa.

And here's mine open. I went for a simple inside as this was the first time I had made one of these cards.
