Monoprinted Sewing Card

 Hello! Alison here. Today I have a card that uses several products that can all be found in the White Rose Crafts shop. I used some monoprints made with my Gel Press, and some stamps and a stencil from AALL & Create, plus a couple of VersaFine Clair inks.

When I am working with my Gel Press, I make many prints at once. I truthfully don't always keep track of what colors or mediums I used, and as I start to work with the prints I create, they get shuffled and then I really don't remember what I worked with. For this card, I know I started with a print that had neon colors on it, but I didn't love it, so I printed over it to get a better, layered print. When I decided to use it on a card, I took out the Lotza Trianglez stencil from AALL & Create and I applied triangles here and there with Salty Ocean Distress Ink.

I roughed up the edges a bit with my scissors and stamped one of the images from the Sewing Forever stamp set with Pinecone VersaFine Clair Ink. I also stamped just the gal on a separate monoprint I had made, fussy cut her dress, and added it to the original print to make it stand out. I added a bit of detail shading to her shoes and skin with Copics. I also used a silver marker on the scissor. My sentiment was stamped with Twilight VersaFine Clair Ink. I inked the edges of my card with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.

I love that this card looks like a detailed collage, but it really isn't. Fussy cutting the dress was simple, and since I used two very different monoprints, each element stands out nicely.
