Ancient Greece card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Vacation".

As you know, I love to go on city trips, and then I often visit cities with ancient history. I have only been to Greece once, but the museums I often visit have beautiful ancient Greek statues from. These molds from Prima Marketing remind me of those statues and what a great way to put my two hobbies together in one project.


 

I started with the background. I colored this with Opal Magic Paint in soft colors. Then I used the Simon Says Stamp Waves stamp from the new Rest and Refresh release together with White Embossing Powder. After I applied a layer of Gesso to all resin shapes, I first applied color to them before I adhered them. The colors weren't quite as I wanted and I kept adding color until I was happy with them. The background colors were too soft and I made these colors darker. I've really been playing around with this card. Didn't so much things to this one as the last and kept it way less busy.
