Experimenting

I had used Lisa Horton's lovely Roses embossing folder with a piece of white card and had also saved the outside of a die cut I'd used earlier with some silver matt mirror card using Lisa's nested scalloped die.

I thought I would experiment and brushed across the embossed roses (not being too careful) with versamark before then covering with detail silver embossing powder and heating. I then covered the rest of the area by brushing with pink oxide distress ink. The card was finished off with the Dovecraft birthday greeting and the silver gems in the corners.

It's not perfect, but I think it was a good experiment using dry and wet embossing together.


This is for:

This is my design card for my CHNC challenge 539 -  please click on the link to find out what it's all about and I hope you'll be able to join in with your Christmas designs - anything goes as long as it's Christmas with the optional theme of 'for a child'.

For my card I've used Love to Craft Festive Fun papers. The stamped image is Anita's Santa in the chimney inked with memento tuxedo black and coloured with spectrum noir pens with the addition of liquid pearls for snow. This was mounted on to an offcut of red mirror card. Two deer and the strip of Merry Christmas sentiments were added.
