Together

Good Morning

Meet today's card.

There is something about picking up some new stamps to help motivate and inspire you!

That's how I felt this week after getting 2 new stamps from Magenta's new release.

One is called Egrets in Reeds and the other is called Reflective Blue Heron.  This week, I also came up with a technique I called Merging Backgrounds.  After seeing these 2 stamps, I got to thinking about putting them together onto one card and that's what happened.  

I began by looking through some of the pieces I had inked with my Gelli Plate.  I like to make a bunch of backgrounds and put them away to use at a future date.

This one was done with some acrylic paint and a some Distress Oxide inks.  I used a little textured brayer to give the pattern you see along the top edge.

I placed the inked piece inside my Misti and stamped the first bird in place.  I sprinkled on some clear embossing powder and heat set it.  I placed it back into my Misti and positioned it over the first image, bringing the two together, stamped and clear embossed again.

Voila.....merged the images.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
