His and Hers Online Class - Day One: thinking of you

So I was lucky enough to win a spot in the His and Hers online class this week - day one has already provided lots of inspiration.  I took my cue from Jennifer McGuire and made a simple masculine card with some masking.

I stamped the hexagons from PTI's Rosie Posie in Vintage Cream ink and then added a wide line with some more masking.  I coloured in the empty spots with some Derwent InkTense pencils - these pencils are amazing and you can do such cool things with them wet ... but I left them dry for this card.

I stamped the sentiment from one of PTI's Think Big sets in Chocolate ink from Fresh inks.  (By the way, there is an online sale over at Impress Rubber Stamps - home of Fresh inks.  These pigment inks are wonderful and not only do they have beautiful colours, but the coverage is divine! :-)  They have the sale posted on their Facebook page and I loaded up on a bunch of reinkers since 20% is a nice discount!  Use the code 'annual sale' if you like ...)

I recently saw someone cover wood veneer with gesso before using mists and this allows the colour to sit on top rather than saturate and streak.  I will definitely be trying this with other colours!  Here I covered the wood veeneer stars from Studio Calico with some Studio Calico's Mister Huey's spray mist Estate Green which is a darker turquoise.

Paper: PTI Kraft
Stamps: PTI Think Big (sentiment), Rosie Posie
Ink:  Fresh ink (chocolate), PTI Vintage Cream
