Black Lives Matter

Hello Roadies! I'm so happy and excited to be on the blog today using the Black Lives Matter set for my project! I'm so happy to see a stamp set like this available in craft community. Yet another reason why I love Ink Road Stamps!
"In a racist society, it's not enough to be non-racist we must be anti-racist." - Angela Davis
I absolutely love this quote! I started by stamping some sentiments onto black cardstock. I prepped my cardstock using anti-static powder then stamped using clear embossing ink. I sprinkled on some fine detail gold embossing powder, tapped off the excess and heat set.
I stamped the fists onto cream colored cardstock using a light ink color and then colored them in with alcohol markers. I prepped with anti static powder then restamped with clear embossing ink and sprinkled the same fine detail gold embossing powder. Tapped off the excess and then heat set. I colored in the cream card stock using a black marker and made sure I went over the edges.
Now put it all together! I wanted the sentiments to be the focal point of the card so I opted for some patterned paper that went with my color scheme. I popped the sentiments up with foam tape and added some gold sequins.
I'm so happy with the way this card turned out, elegant and impactful. I love that the sentiments are the main focal point of this beautiful card. Lots of love to my black and brown bothers and sisters. -Lorena
