Hi
I hope you are having a lovely Easter break. The weather in Auckland yesterday wasn’t that great but it was good for crafting so I made my card for this weeks challenge at Try Stampin in Tuesday. We were given a basic layout but I knew immediately what I would do.
During the week I had visited Dawn’s blog and seen her card using the technique of Emboss Resist. (Check out her entry on preparing solid image stamps). Ages ago I bought the stamp set Inspired by Nature but hadn’t used the flower stamp. Well now I have & I am really pleased with how this turned out.
I also had time to tidy my craft desk – it’s amazing what you find hidden under everything! I found my little easel which makes it easier for taking pictures.
To make this card I started with Whisper White cardstock and inked the stamp with Versamark and then applied white embossing powder. I then sponged Daffodil Delight ink to the background in a circular motion. It doesn’t have to been applied evenly – that is part of the effect. If there is any ink on the embossed area just wipe it off with a tissue. For my colour combination I used the trusty colour coach – where would we be without this! I left it for a bit to dry and then cut it up as per the sketch making sure I didn’t cut the flower. At this stage the inside of the card is blank as I’m not sure what I will use it for.
Supplies:
Cardstock – Whisper White, Cherry Cobler, Early Espresso
Ink – Daffodil Delight
Other – White Embossing Powder

Beautiful card! Love the colours, the cherry cobler really makes the daffodil delight stand out! And that stamp is perfect for your card it fills the whole space! Don't you just love inking up a new stamp!
