Over on
Nichole Heady's blog for Papertrey, Ink, there is a new video by Heather Nichols showing how to emboss a card and then using reinkers to color the areas. I kept it pretty simple using the largest flower from Friends till the End. I embossed the flower using zing "blush" embossing powder and then used both Berry Sorbet and Hibiscus burst reinkers for coloring the flower. I used a water pen very carefully, still had some warping, but I heat set it and put it under some weight for a bit of time. The leaves I embossed with white filigree powder and used simply chartreuse and ripe avocado reinkers to color. The sentiment is also from the same stamp set. I finished with a strip of berry sorbet scallop and a little bling in the center of the flower.
Thanks for taking a look!
My older daughter stopped over and before I had taken a picture of this card, she spotted it and asked if she could have it for a special friend who is having a birthday. Of course!! So I grabbed my camera and took a quick shot.. and now that card is going to a good person. That is the reason I make these cards, right? Love getting snail mail!!
