Serene Sillouettes Swirly

 

When dyeing the paper, I tend to punch out an item first, then just dunk that item. I wondered about doing larger pieces - and settled for a card front. I loved the effect using Island Indigo and Pool Party inks. I loved it enough that I really did not want to cover it up.  I wanted to keep it simple so that the pattern was not lost in the card. I stamped with Serene Sillouettes in Island Indigo. The greeting was made with the Petite Pairs stamp set, and the Large Oval and Scallop Oval punches. I added some Lucky Limeade cardstock for some more visual candy.

Here is another card with stamping directly onto the swirled/dyed paper. 

 

 

I hope to be starting a monthly techniques class to be able to share with you new ways to keep your cards fresh. Keep an eye on the events page for upcoming classes and events.
