Welcome
Today, I have the pleasure of being the guest designer at the
The theme is a fun one:
EMBOSS IT
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I cut a piece of white cardstock and beginning at the top of the paper, I blended these Distress Oxide colours together: Fossilized Amber/ Ripe Persimmon/ Picked Raspberry/ Cracked Pistachio/ Peacock Feathers.
- Next, I embossed the panel with a 3D Burlap folder. Using a sanding block, I gently sanded over the embossing to add a bit more interest and reveal a bit of the white cardstock.
- I laid the Dot Circle Dot Circle stencil (one of my favs) over the embossed panel and inked with the same colours as mentioned above.
- I die cut out the little paint brushes and glued them together.
- I stamped the sentiment in my Misti and then die cut it out.
- I glued the embossed panel onto a piece of white, then pink cardstock and finally onto an A2 sized card base.
- I glued the little paint brushes onto the card front and used some foam tape to add the sentiment.
Here is the stencil I used:

For some reason, I've "lost" contact with your blog. So happy to find this post in all its colorful glory! Beautiful idea to blend the ink and then stencil over it.
ReplyDeleteI love the paintbrushes and coordinating sentiment Karen, and the embossing sanded back a bit with those little glimpses of which through the bright colours works well..a very pretty card. x
