I’m hiding in my craft room this long weekend avoiding trying to stay cool and avoiding the heat. I was looking around at some of my favourite challenges and sometimes the stars align, I found 3 challenges to inspire me that worked for 1 card design.
- Alphabet Challenge Blog – T is for Texture
- TGIF Challenge #561 – Heat Embossing
- Time Out Challenge #305 – Favourite Card Making Technique
One of my favourite card marking techniques is heat embossing. So I heat embossed the flower from the SSS “Beautiful Flowers’ stamp set with some gold embossing powder. I then loosly coloured it with some purple and green water colour inks and then fussy cut it out. I used the Stamping Up ‘Exposed Brick’ embossing folder to add some texture to my background panel and some twine to ground the floral image and popped the sentiment on top.
I’m pretty happy with how this turned out and hope I’ve inspired you to join in these challenges with your own card.
Thanks for looking and enjoy your weekends.
