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.
