Mixed feelings about this one. Like the concept. I think the two colors are too close and I chose the wrong image to stamp.
Started with two coats of Essie Cabi-O-Lait, added striping tape and then Crows Toes Birthday Suit. Looks like I let it dry too long.
I applied top coat, reapplied striping tape, then stamped over it with PUEEN SE03B (top left corner) and my go to black, Finger Paints Black Expressionism.
I think the image was not recognizable enough. I should have chose an argyle pattern or something.
This turned out the opposite of what normally happens. The DMPs don't look too bad, but IRL it just looked like a mess.
Oh well, lesson learned. I will definitely be visiting this idea again, hopefully with better results. Thanks for looking and commenting!
So cool that the stamping is separated with those lines.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa! I think it would work better with a more recognizable image, but I am always hard on myself that way.
DeleteTina, DON'T be so hard on yourself! This really looks awesome! And it inspired me to try this myself! I really like the subtle feeling of this!
