Well here I am with my next attempt at blog challenges.
I'm entering the following card into the following two challenges:
This challenge is to make a card using a Blue theme
This challenge is to make a CAS card with one long and one short side.
I've always enjoyed using tall cards but on this occasion I decided to use it with a landscape orientation rather than portrait.
I started by ripping a plain piece of paper and laying this over the white card base. I then used cotton wool to swirl on some chalk to create the blue background. Next I stamped the large flower and heat embossed with clear embossing power. I then made a mask over this image and stamped the leaves so that they appeared to be behind the flower. This was also then heat embossed. I then created the sentiment, butterfly and small flower in the same way. I then finished with a few glazed gems.
I've not used this chalking technique or heat embosssing for a while so thought I'd give it another go and I'm quite happy with the finished result. Apologies again for the dark photos, although its daylight I still needed the light on!

ReplyDeleteVery pretty! How did you manage to not re-heat, and therefore damage, the flower's embossing whilst doing the leaves so close? :0) Mo
