Try It On Tuesdays

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:

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
