Let's Rock and Roll!




I'm featuring the Rock n' Roll technique in one of my cards this month. Club members will make this card in the few days. The stamp set is Simply Said, a very versatile set!
The card base is Barely Banana. I cut a piece of Real Red 4 inches x 5.25 inches. The image is stamped on Brocade Blue, cut 3.75 x 5 inches. I used a white gel pen to color the flower petals, and the eyelet setter on my Crop-a-dile to do the embossing across the bottom. The ribbon is Real Red striped. Love the Ticket Corner punch for the corners!

I've talked about this card before, and wanted to show a different color variation and technique. I inked the two large flowers in Barely Banana, then without stamping off, rolled the edges of the stamp in a circular motion in Real Red. That is the Rock n' Roll technique! I've also used 3 colors on one stamp. Just try to ink from the lightest color to the darkest so you don't contaminate your light-color ink pad.

Enjoy making your own card using this technique, and let's Rock n' Roll!
