Falling Flowers- Versmark/Mica dry brush technique

Hello everyone 😊

Hope you're all well and have a lovely day planned. . Will it involve crafting? Lol

I'm back today with a couple of cards made to showcase the beautiful
Falling Flowers stamp set available from
Honey Doo Crafts 

Also used :
Birthday Sentiments stamp set
Friendship Quotes stamp set
Mica Powders 
Embossing powder 
Distress Oxide
Versafine
Versmark
Gel pen

For this sample I used the Versmark resist technique.
The Falling Flowers and Birthday sentiment, were stamped and heat embossed in white and matted onto white card
The Falling Flowers were then randomly stamped, coming down from the top of the open card blank, in Versmark and then brushed over with White Opal mica powder. The Versmark grabs hold of the mica and creates this beautiful soft image.
With this technique you need to "set" the image with spray/cheap hairspray

The panel was masked off with tape, then Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide was blended within it
The Falling Flowers and Friendship sentiment were stamped in black onyx versafine


I hope you've enjoyed today's makes using this gorgeous stamp set
