Some dear Blogger Friends have started a blog to share their talents, so we can be inspired to try some things out of the ordinary... Group of Seven Cardmakers .... why not pop over and check out their cards
For January, the girls are sharing cards they made using different applications and mixes of Embossing Powders -- Creative Heat Embossed Backgrounds
Here's what I played around with...
- on photographic paper I swiped Twisted Citron Distress Oxide and when it was dry, wiped the surface with a baby wipe to bring up the bright colour
- then I pounced with Versamark randomly using bubble wrap and used Sizzix Fir Tree (green) embossing powder and heat set
- then I repeated this using white embossing powder
- lastly with Versamark and Kaisercraft Marble stamp - stamped and silver embossed more texture
There was enough lovely background to make two cards...
which I finished off with some Die Cuts (Sizzix) and stamped embossed sentiments
Next I have a Birthday Card for
Using the embossing folder - Elegant Occasions (a magazine freebie) - embossed white square card. Stamped and silver embossed the sentiment and finished with a die cut spray - Intricate Crocus from Card Making Magic - cut from light purple card and coloured with pencils and Distress Ink
Thanks for stopping by my blog, have a wonderful day
Cheers Robyn
