OCC- Day 3 Layered inking

Today was another great OCC day! I first tried Jennifer's technique- layered inking. First I tried it with SU inks (most of my inks) and it didn't work... so next I tried Hero Arts Charcoal Mid-tone and Pale Tomato ink which are some of the different inks that I own!

Here's the result...

The background is just gorgeous!  The card base is PTI Smokey Shadow and the white layer is die cut with a stitched rectangle die before the inking.  Without sharing the technique,  the stamped background is from PTI Life's Music and the note and music staff are from Cas-ual Friday's Love Notes stamp and die. I used Julie's ceramic tile idea and clear embossed the center tile. It is popped up with foam tape, although you can't tell in this picture.

The greeting is stamped in black and then embossed with clear powder- love how it came out! The sentiment will say, "... your own song... Happy Birthday!"
