    Michelle, this is stunning! I would never think about getting a stamp like the face of this beautiful girl. This looks like a painting! Lovely! One question, after you heat embossed the flowers, you inked up the face stamp and embossed it as well. Did you wipe the ink from the face off the flowers before applying the embossing powder for the face? Thanks for your awesome tutorials!

    Terri, no, I didn’t wipe it off. It usually just melts right into the layer below it. 🙂 You have to watch using black it. It will stain your previous layers or make them a yucky gray. 🙂

    As I said before this is just awsome, and I don’t think there is anything in the world of stamping that you can’t do. I just love this, and think I need those stamps……LOL

    Woooowwwww, this is absolutely stunning. Not like most of your work isn’t! 🙂 I have been watching your gallery on SCS for quite some time, but luckily yesterday I decided to visit your blog. Again, I am blown away. Terrific card, Michelle. These are lovely colors with this face image. I really need this stamp set, too, now. 🙂 Kelly

    I still can’t get over how you start stamping the images in the middle of the sheet and keep adding more layers.

    Another home run.

    This stamp is gorgeous! I love that you showcased something a little different here. I would not have thought to use this type of technique with a face. Your card is absolutely beautiful as always.

    How much more elegant can you get? This is so beautiful. I still can’t imagine the hair melting behind the flower petal. It just doesn’t seem possible. You are a genius. Fabulous!!!

    Very lovely. So how do you remove the ink from your emboss resist images so that color doesn’t get smeared into another area?

    Thanks!

    OhioMary asked “So how do you remove the ink from your emboss resist images so that color doesn’t get smeared into another area?”

    Mary, I use an old rag and just carefully wipe it off the embossed images.

    As usual this is simply beautiful, Michelle! Thanks so much for continuing to share your talent with us.

    I have a marker question for you…how do you decide which kind to use (e.g., prismacolor versus copic versus stampin’ write)? I’m gradually expanding my stamping/art supplies and wanted to make informed decisions about what I need next 😉 Any suggestions/tips you have would be greatly appreciated (beyond what’s in your FAQ section) 🙂

    Kim asked” have a marker question for you…how do you decide which kind to use (e.g., prismacolor versus copic versus stampin’ write)? I’m gradually expanding my stamping/art supplies and wanted to make informed decisions about what I need next. ”

    Kim, I’m no marker expert, but I do love the Primsacolor markers when I comes to solvent based. Copics I’m sure are wonderful, but I can’t justify the price for what I use them for and that is card making. There is also a fond place in my heart for the Stampin’ Up markers. They are great for watercoloring since they are waterbased. 🙂 A complete different animal than the solvent based Prismacolor or Copics.
    My suggestion if you have money for both solvent and waterbased, buy both of them!

    I love having both on hand. There is my two cents on the subject. 🙂
