** Cards and Ink ** Flying Unicorn Ct work

Hey all Have a couple of cards to share with you today. I also wanted to draw focus to inking your your cards to tone down a color or create a little bit of depth. Yes even cards can benefit from this little technique!! First here are my cards before any inking is done..

As you can see the card on the left is REALLY bright with the red and white and the card on the right needs a little more punch.

Here is the red card after inking with some TH distress ink. I used bard red and Walnut ( I use walnut A LOT!!).. You can find these inks in the Flying Unicorn store.

It is slight and not harsh. I didn't get to heavy handed with the ink. But now the red isn't as blinding as it was before and you can see the detail in the CS. I used the ink all over the red. On the edges of the white in random areas with the red and the walnut.

Ok how about making images pop a little better. Here is the card on the right. 

I inked all the edges of each piece.. Now this does show up way lighter than it actually is IRL. But there is more of a break between each layer than before. You can see the details better I think. Just a thought for you to consider when you are making your next card!

**More Yummy KOM LO's Using Nov KOM** My faves!

Hello everyone! Happy Monday and Happy Veterans Day too!

 I have some more LO's of the KOM to share with ya today! I so much loved all the PP that you could fussy cut cool little pieces out of to layer your LO with! These two LO's was my big time layering LO's. Lots of PP and Lots of fussy cutting. These are my faves of this kit! Here is the first one.

 My DD is a senior in high school this year and I had just taken some of what will be her senior pictures. The clocks the type writer and the bold letters everything just seemed to me to fall together with this LO. I had just purchased a Lablanche stamp from the store that is a one sided bracket and I used it back to back stamping to make the frame around her picture on the left hand side. The rest besides the pearls are in this kit! I even used a Prima package.. Let me get ya a couple of close ups!

Loved making those flowers! So so much fun!!

 Large black  letters to really make the title BOLD and stand out.. I think I really enjoyed all the layers in this.. LOL I couldn't stop myself!! Ok have another LO to share with loads of layers on it too!

 I have had this Pic of her forever to scrap and never really had PP that I wanted to use it with. So I just kept putting it back.. Then this Kit came along and wham! There ya go.. Perfect PP!! Love this Authentique PP!! Oh my at the images on the PP and the quality is amazing as well! That key on the flower was fussy cut.. It was still stiff! Now hows that for amazing PP?! You mist these what ever ya want to.. Actually both the Teresa Collins and the Authentique is perfect for distressing, misting and fussy cutting! They will stand the test of what us scrappers throw at them!! Ok back to this LO.. lol got off track I know.. Yapping.. heehe.. Anyways the photo has a refection of me shooting the pic of her in her sun glasses.. the snow was really bright that day and well that is how the title was born! Now how about a few close ups of this one?! 

Just had to get a shot of this key! LOL Well I really liked it! Thought it looked really cool!! But the whole time I was cutting it thought yeah it gonna be flimsy and not realistic looking. Boy was I wrong! That says something about these PP I tell ya!! Love them!! Oh and must not play down those gorgeous blooms that came in the kit with that VINE!! Wow!! Oh my did I have fun playing with the flowers!! Yummy!!! Here is another close-up..

Check out all those cool pieces to fussy cut out and make cool looking embellies with them.. Got another close up of this as well!
