Dec 11, 2007 - Rubber Stamp Alphabets

Get Well Card  5.5"w x 7"h (opens to 11.5")
I started out taking my largest acrylic block and arranging Suzanne's Italic alphabets (Quietfire Design) both miniscule and caps all over it and in every direction. Stamped a piece of Arches 90lb HP watercolor paper and clear embossed it. Used regular watercolors wet on wet (Winsor & Newton) in various colors (Naples Yellow, Gambouge Hue, Antwerp Blue, and olive green and a reddish brown). Let that dry completely, then put between newsprint and ironed off the clear embossing. See pic at bottom of page to see the full piece I made and then cut up for the card. I increased the contrast a bit so you can see the contrast between background and letters. In reality it's a beautifully soft background with just enough contrast to it. 

I rubber stamped the Italics Caps letters with black and black embossing powder then cut out the diamond shape using (Evo's) "Thangs" (love it). Also cut out a background diamond from purple metallic cardstock. Finished off each word with a black micron pen.

Cut and folded my Canson Mi-Tientes maroon cardstock gate fold style. Adhered a piece of pale pink Bazzill Monochromatic cardstock to each front section. Glued on my Diamond shapes and added a couple of Peel Off stickers.
