Thank You So Very Much!


Hello friends!  I have a card to share today playing along with a few blog challenges.



I am using Simon Says Stamps Friendly Flower stamp set for the sentiment and I used Stampin Up Gorgeous Leaves stamp and die set along with Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.   I  started with white card stock.   I stamped the leaves using Memento Cocoa, PFS clementine and persimmon, and kraft ink.  I used sponge daubers to blend inks and stamp using my Mini Misti. I die cut the images with the coordinating die cuts. 



For the background, I used Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.  I trimmed the edges after I embossed as embossing takes up card stock space.  So, in order to get the perfect measurement, you need to trim after die cutting.  Also, I recommend trimming the panel with a trimmer as running it through your die cut machine will flatten the beautiful embossing.  I do have a post where I used "Flat Embossing" as a technique.  You can check that out here. I used brown acrylic paint mixed with water and an artist brush to add splatters. Once the panel was dry, I used some antique linen ink to soften the panel and make the embossed details pop.  I also added some to the edges of the leaves. I and added foam tape to add it to a top folding kraft card stock base. 




For the sentiment, I used Friendly Flower stamp setI stamped  with versamark ink onto dark chocolate card stock and used cream embossing powder.  I die cut the sentiment with fishtail dies and trimmed off the excess. I used foam tape to add it to the card. I arranged all of the elements.  I finished the card with a few metallic gold pearls.






Here is a list of many of the products I generally
use every time I make a card.

  
As always thanks so much for stopping by!
