Hello sweet peeps,
Here is a card that I wanted to post yesterday and could not find it in my iphotos. Well today, I did manage to. It is a new embossing folder (bought a few months ago) and I cannot remember the name. I sponged the flat side of the embossing folder with a Versamark stamp and see the result. I LOVE it because I am a big fan of cherry blossoms above everything else.
At the bottom, the colouring went a bit fuzzy as it was my first effort at this. There is a way to close the embossing folder which I will master with practice. I saw this technique on Pinterest and fell for it. I have tried using distress ink stamp pads but the result is not as brilliant as this.
The crochet ribbon tape is from my stash and the MS butterflies have been layered for more dimension. I went sentiment free to aid the sale of this card. A part of me wants to keep this card for life, though.
I will enter this card in the following challenges:

How lovely and timeless, Monica! I have not tried this technique either because I keep thinking that dye base inks will bead up, and not make a good image. And then I get lazy, thinking it will be difficult cleaning pigment ink off - oh dear - it boils down to being lazy I think - and I'm posting it to the world on your blog! LOL
ReplyDeleteTruly beautiful, and now I am inspired to try it, too!
Hoping you enjoy a great week! love, de
