Good Morning.
Time for another card for
I decided to use heat embossing on my card.
I am having a blast playing with my Distress Oxide inks.
I did a tutorial you can check out called
Basically, you dip an old credit card into Distress Oxide ink that has been sprayed with water and drag it down your card front. The Oxides layer so uniquely and I just love that you get a different look every time.
So onto my card.
I began with a piece of heavy weight cardstock. I get mine from a local store and tend not to buy it online as the shipping is so expensive to Canada.
Using the above technique, I pulled the Oxide inks over my card front, layering the colours as I went along. I rubbed my card front with an anti-static pad then I stamped the flowers from Magenta using my Misti with Versamark ink then white heat embossed them. The white embossing just helped the flowers pop against that colourful bkg.
I stamped the Hero Arts sentiment, then using the edge of my credit card, I added the black lines using ink from my Memento ink pad. Using some drywall tape, I added extra interest by stenciling a bit in the background.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
Hope you will come and play along with us.

Gorgeous card Karen - love the background, stamps and quote - well I just love it all!
I've been making Christmas cards for the last few days but not used my oxides on them - but seeing your cards I can see the next batch will :) thanks for the inspiration.
Have a great weekend...

OMG, Karen, Your Gorgeous background really pops with all your beautiful layered DOX inks!!! Love how you added your black lines and dry wall stenciling. Beautiful sentiment as always my friend. TFS Hugs..
wow Karen, that background is drop dead gorgeous:) I just love all those wonderful colours popping through behind the stamps.
That sounds like a fun technique and really does create an interesting background. The white embossing is perfect for the flowers to stand out yet blend well with that great background.
I have pinned every credit card distress oxide card you have made! This is stunning. I have not tried the technique yet but thank you for all the sharing you have done.
I love your background. It is beautiful and perfect for the white embossed images.
fantastic background and a very beautiful card Karen

I just love this technique you've created Karen. Makes a gorgeous background for your pretty white embossed flowers. xx
I love seeing these backgrounds and so happy to see you posting them. It's a reminder to me to try this! The black lines you added add so much to the overall effect. Beautifully done.
Karen I love the colours on the background, simply amazing and after looking at this and TaeEuns I obviously need to stop dithering and try this technique. Its just so beautiful as is your card. Love it.
Wonderful colour and interest - I love those black criss-cross lines!

Your cards grab and hold our attention. There's such interesting visual detail from the credit card technique. Thank you for giving us such clear directions. Your work is very memorable.
Thanks so much!
Such fun and playful colors, Karen! Love this!
Your beautiful background reminds me of a madras plaid shirt I had as a teenager - I loved that shirt because of the gorgeous blend of colours! Great technique with the credit card and lovely white embossed flowers.
