Swallowtail Birthday CARD, ATC#16

Close up of the image heat embossed in black.

Good Morning, I have a great 10 minute card!  Stamp the swallowtail image with VersaMark on a 3-3/4” x 5” piece of card stock, cover with black embossing powder and shake off excess, heat set with the heat tool.  Let cool for a few minutes.  Using the Sponge Dauber I added Daffodil Delight and Marina Mist. 

Using a brayer on the top and bottom edges I brayered the card stock using Lucky Limeade.

Playing along with Addicted to CAS #16 - Take Flight Card Challenge. 

The design team has some cool up in the air inspiration ... come play!

Where Blue Birds Fly CARD, OLW89

Trilled to be playing along with the "Less is More" ONE LAYER challenge team using a design of card with clean lines, minimal elements, areas of white space and few or no embellishments. This week's theme is using Wings.  So, I am bringing back Nature Walk stamp set using my favorite colors different shades of blues. 

I was thinking outside the box by brayering in a angle vs. the traditional way of up & down along the edge of the card stock.

In Fall Season French Foliage, cQc#109

Here is my take on the colourQ challenge #109.  Emboss Resist is a cool technique.  It's Easy!  Just stamp the image with Versamark, then emboss with clear embossing powder.  After that is down, sponge or use brayer of the colors of your choice,  Don't forget to "buff" with a small paper towel the embossed images to remove any excess ink.  For my card after the step of using Versamark, I then added "ink", stamped, embossed and buffed.

Stamps Recipe:  SU French Foliage, Just Believe

Paper: Very Vanilla, Soft Suede

Ink:  Soft Suede, Island Indigo, Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler, Versamark

Accessories:  Very Vanilla 5/8" Satin Ribbon, Top Note Die, Embossing Buddy, Heat Tool, Clear Embossing Powder, Powder Tray, dimensionals, Brayer, Sponge

Technique:  Emboss Resist, Brayer Sky, Sponging
