I was really happy with the results. I didn't get it totally even, but I think that adds to the charm. I layered two die cut flowers and added some hand cut leaves. I popped a sequin onto the flower and a placed a bit of glitter glue in the sequin's center. Then I stamped and heat embossed the Hero Arts sentiment on vellum - stamping on vellum is also new for me. I will come back later and enter some challenges.
Edited to enter these challenges: Stamplorations August Challenge - Stamps/Die Cuts; PDE Linky Party #17 - Metal Dies or Punches; and The Cutting Edge #8 - I was inspired by the white background and flowers on Kay's card.
Wow Sheila, I think you did a fabulous job with the embossing past! To me you got it pretty darn smooth and I really like that you did it on color paper. I've so got to try this out for myself. Awesome and beautiful card my friend. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brenda! Do give it a try :)
DeleteVery pretty card!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know!
ReplyDeleteWow, Sheila...for a first time with embossing paste...amazing!! I didn't know Micheal's had paste...have to check it out! Your stencil and flower are lovely...your card is LOVELY!! Thanks so much for being a part of our challenge and sharing your creativity at The Cutting Edge:)!!
ReplyDeleteI think you've done a fabulous job with this technique. I keep trying, but I find it a difficult technique to master. Either I get the paste too thick or not thick enough, or the stencil slips as I lift it. Yours turned out beautifully and the flower & vellum were such lovely additions. Yay for you at trying yet again on something different. Your craft growth is gaining by leaps & bounds, and each effort you've done, you've done so well. This is a lovely, lovely card! TFS & hugs. (and in the picture your embossing paste looked pretty white to me!) You can tint them too with paints or reinkers...or things of that sort. Or add glitter. (if it works properly!!! LOL)
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks amazing!! How creative of you. I love it!!
