Playing in Paradise #83 - The Rule of Thirds

Happy Friday! This week at the Playing in Paradise Challenge, Angela is teaching us about one of the major 'rules' of composition, the Rule of Thirds:

As you know, I'm away on vacation the next couple of weeks, so my chat is minimal - hopefully you can see how I've implemented the rule of thirds!

Supplies: papers from Bo Bunny;
sentiment from Stampendous;
resin flower from May Arts;
Adirondack dye ink, Wild Plum;
Versamark, clear EP

Love the embossed shine! 

To emboss any colour ink, I first load up my stamp with a good coat of Versamark. (I have 2 pads - one for pure clear Versamark, and one for messy inking). Then, without stamping yet, I add the coloured ink, then stamp & sprinkle the embossing powder.  I use this technique with all my dye inks, and have for years, and have never noticed any issues with how the dye pads function (in case you're worried about getting Versamark on your other pads).

Our linky over at Scrapbooker's Paradise will be open until next Thursday, September 13th, and as always there's a great prize to win. We're always looking for new players - and let me tell you, there are GREAT odds of winning...but you have to play to win :)

Don't forget to check out what the other ladies have cooked up this week:
