NOTE: December challenge will run Dec. 1 - 15
Thank you!
I love this grid background stamp for the emboss resist technique. I embossed the grid in white and then sprinkled two colours of magicals over top (autumn crimson maple, ramblin' rose). The watery ink pools in the squares to create variations of colour.
I added a white frame with silver stamped sentiment and beautiful die-cut flowers that were gifted to me by a sweet friend. Sequins add a little sparkle to finish the design.
Here's a close-up ...

Love the pooling of the colours from those beautiful magicals around the heat embossed grid. The crisp white die cut looks fabulous and so perfectly CAS. A unique and stunning card Loll x.

Yay to the new challenge and I am so looking forward to being inspired by your amazing team x.
Great colors on your background Loll - love the embossed grid and the added sparkle with your sequins - your die cut stems look lovely against it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card - I love that bg stamp too! And I think I am the first person to start following the new CAS stencil blog!! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Loll. Those flowers look magnificent, against that grid background. They almost look like they're floating on a rosy-colored pool. Love this pretty card. And congrats on the new challenge! I bet it'll be tons of fun. xo Bev

ReplyDeleteA classic beauty dear Loll xx
A very pretty feminine card Loll, love that hatched background and gorgeous shimmery pink to display your white die cut flowers

ReplyDeleteLove your pretty background Loll with the sweet die cut and sequins.
ReplyDeleteI thought of using my grid stamp for a card but I couldn't compete with this lovely creation, Loll. I do love the way the color pools in the corners and along the edges.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, that grid in such a beautiful jewel tone color, overlaid with the pure white flowers! This one is one of my all-time fave Lolly cards! I'm going to go take a look at my background stamps ...! As always, you are a font of never-ending inspiration, my friend!! 🎄Happy Holiday Hugs, Darnell
