I'm so excited (and also a bit intimidated!) about this Blog Hop - when I discovered Jay was to be our Guest Stamper I actually squealed - because I just LOVE his work (always imaginative, beautifully executed and brimming with inspiration) and have been following Jay and Barry at Mitosu Crafts for a long time. So it was extremely difficult to choose which amazing piece to CASE!  Eventually I chose this one because it would lead me to do something new for me.
And this is what I did with it.
www.thecraftythinker.com.au, Flirty Flowers, Black & White card, #thecraftythinker, Stampin Up Australia Demonstrator, Stephanie Fischer, Sydney NSW
The floral images are from the Flirty Flowers stamp set
I clear heat embossed the centre flower and masked it before stamping the other image three times with Whisper White Craft ink.  I then removed the mask and, using a paintbrush, coloured the centre flower with the same white craft ink, building up layers of pigment.

The greeting is white heat embossed.
If I were to do this again, I would stamp off the image directly behind the centre flower. 

Tip:
As always when using white craft ink, care needs to be taken to avoid smudging as you work because it takes a long time to dry. 

Thanks for following our blog hop. Remember that currently you are at my blog - Stephanie Fischer - so click on the next name in the list to ensure that you don't miss out of seeing any of the blogs and the amazing inspiration they contain.

'Til next time
Stephanie

    Simply stunning Stephanie. Black and white always looks amazing together. The way you have used the masking technique to make your central embossed flower pop is just wonderful.

    I have not noticed this set before...how did I miss it?! I love how you build up your images using the same stamp and adding more to the central flower to make it stand out. Great job :) ~ Jay

    Great colour mix Stephanie - powder pink is a lovely back drop to this black embossed. And. Great tips too for using the craft ink, how many times have I smudged my work!!? X
