Okay, this card probably took me the longest to make!
It has been in the high 90's here in Southern California
and I made my paperclay embellishment yesterday thinking
it would dry overnight. Wrong! It was still damp this morning.
Luckily, one of the ornament shapes I made was thinner than
the other and I was able to get that one dry to finish my card.
The ink colors I first stamped onto the wet clay were so
vibrant. I was so disappointed this morning when the colors
were all faded (you could barely see the images). I went back
in and hand-painted the colors. My feeling is that it would be better to stamp the images after the clay has been cut and is allowed to dry. I plan to try this method out in the future.
BEAUTIFUL WORK toward the challenges! I LOOOOVE the clay tag/ornament you made for Lexi's Challenge! ;)
