Inky Layers Father's Day Card

Hello, hostess Tami here with a Father's Day card featuring stamps from Woodware and ColorBox Fluid Chalk Inks...

ColorBox Fluid Chalk Inks are nice and opaque, dry quickly and are a chalky matte when dry. When you stamp over previous stamped images with ColorBox Chalk Ink, you create shadow images that add interest to your design.

The card features foliage that was stamped and layered in several light colors to create a background for the card. Then the design was stamped again using a darker ink to create the focal image...

The stamped piece was layered on card, which has also been stamped to create an overall design. The sentiment was stamped in the darker ink to compliment the focal image...
