Anywho, I didn't have a particular design in mind when I started out to create this card, so it was actually serendipity that it happend to fit with both of the challenges over at HLS! HLS is rapidly becoming my most favourite challenge site!

And if you click on the sketch below, it will take you to the sketch challenge
This is what I came up with. It has all three types of embossing, embossing paste, heat embossing and dry embossing,
First I made my own stencil cut out of acetate by using a die (sorry, another one from before I used to catalogue my supplies)
Then, I made some soft pink embossing paste with white paste and a little distress ink mixed in and spread it over my home made stencil on to a white card front and sprinkled it with irridescent embossing powder and let it air dry. Once it was dry I heat set the irridescnt EP with my heat gun.
The next step was to run one of my SSS, 'Stitched Hillside Border' dies to make a curved, stitched edge and mounted it on to a piece of matching pink cardstock that I had run through the Craft Too, 'Bringing' EF.
I finished it off with the die-cut 'Love' word from Clearly Besotted and this is my finished card.
As always, I appreciate the time you have given to popping by and thank you all for your comments and reciprocate where possible. Have a lovely weekend! Hazel xx

Oh Hazel, this is a stunner for sure! And yes, we do know what a 'TooFer' is. lol And you did a fabulous job with this card.

ReplyDeleteOh I love it, solo elegant and feminine. I think it is really clever of you to have used all three types of embossing and yet kept it so CAS. Gorgeous. We must have been channelling the same crafty energy today as I was playing around making my own embossy colours too.. Oh I love to play. Take care x
