OCC Background Check Day 2!

Well, I finally got to Day 2 for Online Card Class's Background Check. I wish you could see the design in the background, but I guess you'll take my word for it!

Day 2 we learned about the ink resist technique, among other things. Following Jennifer McGuire's instructions, I spritzed a stamp with water that had some Perfect Pearls added to it. Then when I stamped it, the image appeared with a bit of white glistening showing in the image of the stamp. It's so cool! I'm just sorry you can't see it in this picture. I think you can see a some of it in the bottom piece if you look hard enough. I used Tim Holtz' Distress Inks in Blueprint Sketch and Peacock Feathers for the background.

Day 3 was when we added the sentiment. This one is from Simon Says Stamps, and I used it in a recent card for Day 1-3 homework.

I'll be posting another card on Saturday, after we have Day 6 of the class, unless I have great inspiration in the meantime.

I'm so glad you stopped by today! I appreciate your comments and visits, and I hope to see you again real soon ~

  1. Sharon, I'll bet the class is OH so FUN! Maybe some day I can take that one but this is simply stunning! It reminds me of a "Jennifer card" lol!!!! She is so talented. Your two colors go together perfectly, playing off each other. I'm sure the Perfect Pearl sheen stamped images are beautiful in real life!!! I do enjoy how you've split the sentiment between the die cut focal image, and then added the smaller finish of the sentiment by itself just below. Fabulous and well done!
