Belli Challenge #51

This week Belli Challenge was to create artwork using re-inkers. I chose to use Old Olive and More Mustard re-inker. The technique is called Embossed Lumieres. I wish my camera would have picked up more of the shimmer that this technique gives. Really pretty in person! I used some things that I haven't used for a long time. White Lumiere paint for one. The stamp was painted with re-inkers using a small paint brush. Next I used a stipple brush and pounced on the white Lumiere on the inked image. Last step was to stamp on a scrap piece of designer paper then emboss the image with clear embossing powder. This is the first time I have tried this technique. I love the shimmer and the deep color you get from painting with re-inkers. I'll be doing this again!!!!

Stamp set: Measure of a life by Stampin'Up!, other stamp used from See-D's Nature Print. Hardware hinge I picked up at Pat Catan's, stiching done with linen thread, and up in the corner you can see just a touch of twill Chocolate Chip tape.
