Add ink to your embossing folder and let your card front demand attention from all who feast their eyes upon it. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Love & Strength

Paper:

   Petunia Pop A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Thoughtful Journey DSP 2-3/4 x 5-3/16

Ink:

   Mossy Meadow

   Peach Pie

Technique:

   Dry Embossing with Ink

Accessories:

   Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder

   Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots

   Adhesive

First, I applied Peach Pie ink to the top panel of the Plaster Painting 3D embossing folder. You can gently swipe the ink pad across the panel, or gently tap it. 

I then carefully placed a Basic White panel inside the folder and carefully closed it and embossed it without moving the panel. I set the panel aside to dry and quickly rinsed the embossing folder under running water. You can let it drip dry or gently dry it yourself.

Next, I stamped the sentiment on the top of the Thoughtful Journey DSP panel, using Mossy Meadow ink.

I then adhered this panel onto the center of the embossed panel. 

Next, I adhered it onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Petunia Pop card front.

Lastly, I added a couple of Brushed Metallic Dots to the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Stamps:

   Round We Go

Paper:

   Summer Splash A-2, 2" Sq. (2)

   Melon Mambo 2" Sq. (3), 3-7/8 x 5-1/8

   Basic White 3-3/4 x 5, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Summer Splash

   VersaMark

   Round We Go Dies

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I die cut the dotted circles on the 3-3/4 x 5 Basic White panel, using the Round We Go Dies. I did intertwine two of the circles.

I then stamped the sparkles around the Basic White panel, using Summer Splash ink.

Next, I adhered this panel onto its Melon Mambo matte. The circles then appear to be Melon Mambo dots.

I then wrapped the White Baker's Twine around the bottom of the panel and tied it off with a bow. I placed the bow to the left of the panel, and then adhered the panel onto the Summer Splash card front.

Next, I die cut the rest of the pieces, using both sets of dies. The stitched circle is from the Stylish Shapes Dies, and the others use the Round We Go Dies.

Using VersaMark and White Embossing Powder, I heat embossed the sentiment on the Stitched Circle. This is the only circle that was adhered with dimensionals. I then adhered the other circles, as shown above.

Lastly, I added embellishments and a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Hangry

Physical and emotional needs cannot be separated. If a physical need is not being met, then an emotional need will suffer. Thus, this sentiment is proven constantly. Thoughts?

Feeling Young

The older we get, the more we want to laugh...sometimes this is the only exercise our stomach muscles get. We also tend to develop quite a few quirks, too many to name. And my point was...Still, I had fun coloring this lady. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Senior Years

   One More Year

Paper:

   Blushing Bride A-2

   Birthday Memories DSP 5 x 3-3/4

   CAS

   Coloring

Accessories:

   Adhesive

First, I stamped and colored the image on the 2" Basic White Square. I've listed the markers that I used, but you can choose your favorites. FYI: I always choose colors from the DSP to help bring everything together.

I then took two leftover paper pumpkin tags and stamped the two sentiments. 

Next, using Blushing Bride ink, I stamped the other two Basic White pieces with bursts of color.

I then added the two sentiments, diagonally, and trimmed off any excess. I thought this added a bit of interest to the card.

Next, I adhered the Birthday Memories DSP panel to the center of the Blushing Bride card front.

I then adhered the three squares in the center of the card front as shown above.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Bravo Roses

This specialty paper is already heat embossed in white. All I have to do is add whatever color I wish and then wipe away the excess. I think it looks great. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Stippled Roses

Paper:

   Handsome Hunter A-2

   Basic White 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 1-1/2 x 3-1/4, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Irresistibly Floral DSP 5-1/4 x 4

First, I added color to the emboss-resist specialty paper, using Handsome Hunter re-inker and a watercolor brush.

I then set it aside to dry. Once it was dry, I wiped it clean with a paper towel. The ink on the embossed images will lift right up, leaving the background colored.

Next, I attached it to a Basic White matte and then adhered it to a Handsome Hunter card front.

I then stamped the stippled roses on the small Basic White piece, using Bravo Burgundy ink.

Next, I adhered it to a Bravo Burgundy matte and attached it to the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a couple of Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the roses and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
