Pattern Play Birthday cards

Hello again - it is my final week as guest on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog. This weeks theme is Red, White and Blue. I have created some small birthday cards featuring another Tracy Scott / PaperArtsy stamp set - TS059

I used PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylics - Cherry Red, Midnight and Heavy Cream for my backgrounds and the base for my embossed hexagons.

I began with my gel plate adding one colour, stamping on the plate to remove paint or add it. For some I stamped the image directly onto the plate first - with paint - letting it dry before brayering paint over the top. I build my layered, organic prints like this.

Once I had a few backgrounds I cut them to size and created the patterned layers with archival ink. (Tracy Scott uses her geometric stamps to create 'Pattern Play')

With the remainer of the background, I stamped hexagons with versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Thanks to the Simon Says Stamp team for inviting me to join them for June! Do, as always, check out the designs of the their design team - they are fabulously creative!
