MY FIRST CARD USING MY NEW VAGABOND

Thanks for stopping by.  I got a Vagabond die cut machine from Santa and I got to use it yesterday.  First I applied various blue and purple alcohol inks to glossy card stock and then I ran it through the Vagabond with the clock works folder. Then I  die cut Umbrella man with the Bigz diecut and stamped on him with Moonlight white Brilliance. The Stamp is by Judikins 2333 J it's signatures from famous artists. I picked it up at a yard sale for less than 1/2 price.  I popped U man with 3D foam tape. I then die cut the mover and shaper with the arrow and embossed 3 times with clear.  Die cut the quote with left over background and a tag shape. Layered as you see and mounted on black card. This card is for a man and I think it isn't too feminine.  Hope you enjoy. P.S I do my A.I. one colour at a time. I feel I have more control.



closeup - see I've highlighted raised areas with dye ink a touch.

Well I can see that someone had a great time with the present Santa left her! This is absolutely so cool for a guy and it will be cherished! Love the AI color combination! I never tried them separately, but I can see that it would give you more control over the coverage! Have fun!
