Label Me Grateful
The second technique we used on Monday was the Black ice Technique. I found this rendition of the technique and this card on a site called CreativeLee Yours. I love the way it turned out.

When I was making this card I made a huge mistake by dry embossing the sunflowers before adding ink and clear embossing powder. When I did it the right way by dragging Stazon Ink and then Versamark and then heat embossing with clear embossing powder before dry embossing with the sunflowers I did not like it as well. So I stuck with the technically "wrong" way to do it. When I showed my stampers both examples they agreed that they liked this one better. Sometimes mistakes turn out to be "happy accidents." I used a sneak peek oriduct in this card . . . The Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper which will be available starting September 3rd.
Our day started out bright and early this morning with an eye appointment for John. Even though we had an early morning appointment it still took 2 hours before we were through. We got home just in time for him to have lunch which was delived about five minutes after we got home. This afternoon I am headed back up to Iowa City to pick up some cheese curds along the way (for tailgating tomorrow) and then getting the car serviced. I am taking my book along and plan on reading while I am waiting for it. This evening will be spent with cardmaking and baseball!
Every day is a gift . . . make the most of the gift you have been given today!!
Happy Stamping!!
