Highlights

Leonie's Fab Friday ATC Challenge this week is to highlight an element on our card.


I have used a mountboard base, a rubber stamp from Paper Artsy, clear embossing powder, Glossy accents, a white Inkssentials pen, Adirondack Inks (Denim & Lettuce), two white eyelets & ribbon.

I stamped the image using blue ink, covered with clear powder & heat embossed. I coloured the rest of the white mountboard with a blend of the two inks using a brayer, sprayed with a fine mist of water & dried with a heat gun.

I sanded the edges to remove some of the ink & reveal the white mountboard underneath.

I highlighted the stamped image by outlining with white & black pens. I coloured in the stars using the white pen then covered them with glossy accents.

I restamped the image on white paper to create more stars, which were cut out & stuck to the card. The green stars were highlighted using the white pen.

The final touch was to add the eyelets & ribbon, fraying the edges slightly.
