Another inky lampost

Today's card uses a resist technique to make the lampost look white on a coloured background.

 
"Resist Lampost"

The lampost is stamped onto white card using clear versamark, then heat-embossed with clear holographic powder before colouring with distress inks using the wrinkle-free distress technique.
 
 
"Glittery lamp"
 
The lamp is coloured in the same way as yesterday's with a faux bleach technique and yellow distress marker
 
"Tree Charm"

A tree charm is hung from a brad (N.B. I like to colour white brads with embossing powder by dipping into versamark, then embossing powder and heating with a heat tool; unfortunately, you can see in the photo where I missed a bit and didn't notice!).

 

Netting and lace add some terxture.
