A MALE card today for the theme at Let's Squash It!!.. challenge #21
- Used a leafy embossing folder from Couture Creations - Ambrosia.. and embossed white card
- Smooched blues and greens Distress Oxide inks on my work mat, lightly spritzed with water and laid the embossed panel over the ink, pressed lightly with my hand and did this till I achieved ink coverage to the raised pattern
- Used coloured pencils to colour two fish from my stash (unknown) that were once stamped in black ink and heat embossed with gold EP, fussy cut them out
- Attached some thin strips of green card to the side and trimmed the panel to fit a white card
- Stamped sentiment from Sheena Douglass Sea View Collection, with Versamark and used Sizzix Fir Tree embossing powder, on a strip of vellum... you couldn't see it on the background then so I added a strip of white card behind and attached it and the fish with foam tape
Thanks for stopping by my blog... have a wonderful creative weekend... cheers Robyn
A fabulous card Robyn - thanks for sharing how you coloured the emboss panel.

I really like how this card turned out and how perfect it is for a man who loves to go fishing! Great design and colors and I love how you used that leafy embossing folder for the background too!
ReplyDeleteYou are indeed a clever lady - love the colors you used. I have some embossing folders but never use them. Love seeing what you make dear heart.
