Today's 365 Cards challenge is: Stamp a tone-on-tone background, so that the pattern you stamp is roughly the same color as the paper/cardstock it's stamped on. In order to achieve this, I used VersaMark ink to stamp the Gingham background. I have not used this technique for a while, but have now re-realized how cool it can look. I will be doing this more often in the future! Make sure to check out all of the other great challenges from earlier this week!!

Hello! So happy you could join me today!! I have my card inspiration for the Market Street Stamps Card Challenge . Along with the sketch there was an added challenge of using a spray mist. The first thing I did was stamp Vintage Notepad using VersaMark onto my white cardstock. I then covered it with clear embossing powder and heated it with my heat gun.  Next, I used October Afternoon's Sprinklers in Lemon Drop and Strawberry and alternated spraying them over the card base. The embossed image works as a resist, and you get a great look! The label is a die cut from Nestabilities Label One onto Bazzill's embossed cardstock, Peek-a-Boo Leaves in white. I then used a yellow ink pad to rub over the raised part of the embossed paper to make it pop a little more.  The rest is self explanatory, or at least I hope so. If you have any questions, please don't be afraid to ask.  Hope you enjoyed today's card!!! Card Recipe Stamps: Market Street Stamps {Vintage Notepad, Celebrate...
