We are thrilled to have BozenA (ArtCardBox) as our Guest Designer this month. Please check out the challenge blog to see BozenA's beautiful layered stamping with heat embossing card ... and the amazing cards from our Designers.
I decided I needed a bit of help, so I placed my outline image in my misted and stamped with antique linen distress ink. I then lined up my image in a second Misti that I have (or I could have used the stamp on blocks) with the leaves stamp, stamped with versamark and heat embossed the lime green. Repeated with the red flowers. And then finally, placed my card front back in my first Misti with my outline stamp. Used Versamark and silver embossing powder to create the outline. Each layer I added lots of anti static powder so that the embossing powders stayed where they should be.
I fussy-cut the image and placed it over a simple lined background that I made with my brayer and a few rubber bands with tan ink. Very subtle, but adds a little something. Popped up a thick white frame over top, and also popped up my flowers on top. A simple sentiment heat embossed in red finishes the design. Happy with how this turned out.

The technique looks fabulous Loll and like you I learnt along the way with layering stamps. What a striking colour on the fabulous flowers, great fussy cutting, love the subtle background and the way you popped out some of the flower out of the frame looks wonderful x. Unique and beautiful card x.

ReplyDeleteYou did a fabulous job of this technique, Loll. It's one I'm hesitant to even try. This looks gorgeous in those wonderful colors. I can't get over the fussy cutting you are willing to do. I can see where lining it up would sure be difficult.

The heat embossing makes the flowers really shine and I really like the rubber band background. I am going to have to try that xx
ReplyDeleteA striking color contrast, I like it a lot. White card and so deep colors look great. Thank you for the description of the card. So much trouble, but the end result is dazzling.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Loll, for such a warm welcome in the group of DT. I am honored to be able to take part in this challenge. Thank you *
Beautiful shine of the silver embossing on the vibrant red flowers and the lime green leaves, Loll! The rubber band background adds the right amount of interest (without distracting), and the wide frame strikes a perfect balance between the bold red flowers and the open white space!
