I've done gold dipped sentiments before and since Inkspirational wants to see gold dipped for their challenge I thought I'd oblige. I also wanted to try the 'baby wipe' technique again that was featured on CAS Mix-Up. My card is not quite CAS enough to send to them too but I love the results I got.
The background was created by smooshing DOX onto glossy paper and then wiping it with a baby wipe once it's dry. To tie into the gold, I watered down some Inka Gold and smooshed that too. The sentiment from CP was cut from black paper, heat embossed and layered on black foam.
Thanks for dropping by.
Both techniques look terrific Booby, this is cool!
ReplyDeleteI love these gold dipped sentiments and your's worked out a treat! The gold is a lovely texture and such a great contrast to the soft background-love the splashes of gold there too! Thanks for always being such a support at Inkspirational x
ReplyDeleteThe drama of the black and gold sentiment is fantastic with that dreamy, inca-gold splattered background, Bobby ... this is lovely! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThe colours you have used for the baby wipe technique look amazing and love the pop of gold. A very creative and striking card x.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours for your smooshed background, Bobby! And I love your dipped in gold sentiment! Awesome! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the partial embossing on the sentiment die cut and the touches of gold on the smooshed baby wipe background! This is such a classy card, Bobby!
ReplyDeleteWOW! You've created a gold-dipped beauty here, Bobby! Love the gold/black set atop the pretty background! Classy! Thrilled to see this gem in the INK gallery!
