This is my design card for today's Cheerful stamp pad 85: use embossing powder. Please click on the challenge link to see the lovely embossed creations of the rest of the team. This is being sponsored by Stamp on it.
I was asked to make a sympathy card using one of my favourite stamps - this Penny Black sparklers one. I inked with Brilliance pearlescent purple, randomly stamping around the edge with just parts of the stamp, then using the whole stamp off centre. The sentiment stamp was from Hobbycraft. I used clear embossing powder to heat everywhere, then brushng in from the edges of the card and lightly over the main image with dusty concord distress ink.

What a gorgeous design and fabulous technique, Hazel! Thanks so much for joining our Monochromatic challenge at Aurora Wings. xxD
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic card. Thanks for joining us at AuroraWings. Good luck and I hope we see you again.
ReplyDeleteHazel, I'm so sorry, but it has been brought to my attention that although you have used a rubber stamp, embossed, and then added color, it really isn't a "hand colored stamp" as stated in the rules at Aurora Wings, so in fairness to all, I have to delete it. Hope you understand. It truly is gorgeous. xxD
