April Color Combo and Frosted Filters
Trying out the color combo for the month and messing around with the frosted filter technique we saw at a previous regional seminar. I'm thinking about that since we have the regional coming up in another few weeks. When doing the frosted filter technique, I dropped the 2 colors (Apricot Appeal and Cameo Coral) of reinkers into a glass cake pan, sprayed plenty of water on the ink, then put the filter down and made sure it was saturated. I didn't add any more ink - only more water before adding another filter to the mix. I then used my heat tool to dry the coffee filters. When the filters were dry, I used the anywhere glue sticks to adhere each filter to a piece of whisper white cs. I used the first filter on the birthday card (filter has bright color intensity) and the second filter on the "Make a Wish" card (filter was softer color intensity). Both cards use all three colors in the April combo. Stamp sets were Heartfelt Thanks and Eat Cake. For the birthday card I used dazzling diamonds, lots of dimensionals, silver cord (retired), lg oval and key tag punchs; for the "make a wish" card, I used vintage brads, wide chocolate chip grosgrain, word window punch, and rub on from Eastern Elegance. Enjoy ladies! Tag, your it! ~ Angie
