Good to find some time this morning to put together a card inspired by this month's technique over at
Group of Cardmakers... Textured Tissue Paper with Dry Embossing,
and to find my mojo wasn't still on holiday - we've just returned from a trip south to celebrate my mums 95th birthday - catching up with family and friends too -- an awful lot of chatting and laughs at memories ---- but oh is so good to be home.
I thought this technique might be a bit messy BUT it was quite easy and quick --- reading the method - the brayer had me digging out some very old inks.. it's a wonder they still work. Brayered the Kaleidacolour over some scrunched tissue paper I just happened to have handy and the used the brayer also to spread a thin layer of glue to attach it to white card.... didn't take long to dry so embossed it and brayered Fossilized Amber Distress Ink followed by Gold Brilliance ink... which gave it a bit of a sparkle (no metallic ink on hand). Finished off with a couple of die cut foliage pieces and a sentiment.


Gorgeous card Robyn! LOVE the beautiful colours of your background with the gold highlighting your embossed design. So happy you could join us! Bet your Mum had a wonderful time on her birthday, celebrating with lots of loved ones. xx
