White Embossed Image

        Finally the terrible humidity dropped on Wednesday night. Yesterday was actually cool….or maybe because we’ve been under a heat wave for so many weeks it felt cool! We went out to Rondeau for a bike ride and actually wore long sleeve shirts. Today is a little warmer but still nice. Unfortunately this is the last nice day because the dreaded humidity is returning tomorrow and sticking around for days….along with thunderstorms….same forecast all summer I think.

        Today’s card is another one that I made using an old stamped but never used image and paper from the stash. 

       This Poppy Power image was stamped with VersaMark ink and then heat embossed with white embossing powder. I have no idea what I had in mind when I stamped it but I decided it was time to make a card out of it. So I sponged on some Distress Inks to give it some colour and extended the colour out past the image. Then it was die cut with the Spellbinder’s circle die; mounted on a Spellbinder’s small scalloped circle in a coral colour – also from the stash. As I looked for some designer paper I found that background paper that had the same colours in it. To break it up I added a strip of plain green; Martha Stewart lace trim underneath; and silver peel-off strips along the edge. Then I die cut ‘celebrate’ with a die out of the same coral cardstock as the scallop circle. This alphabet set has the word celebrate in 3 separate dies instead of all one word which I find a bit annoying so I seldom use it. A hand tied chiffon bow was added at the end. This is a 5 ½” square card.

        That’s all for a lovely Friday August 30th, 2018. Have a wonderful, safe and creative weekend everyone!

Cheers
