Good morning
Happy Easter weekend :) There's a fresh new Colour challenge just starting over at Less is More today so I'll get straight to it, here's the cue card...
Pink and grey is a colour combination we see very often, but I don't think I've ever combined it with gold. For my Design Team card I decided to use gold embossing to outline my images...
This was the first outing of this cute little stamp set by Clearly Besotted. I stamped the bunny and Easter egg, and then the smaller egg separately, with grey ink. I then left the stamps in my MISTI so I could re-stamp later. I coloured the images with copies and then returned the cardstock to my MISTI and restamped in VersaMark ink before heat embossing in gold. I used anti-static powder beforehand to avoid any stray embossing powder clinging where I didn't want it. I took two pierced square dies and cut my images out with one and embossed my card front with the slightly larger one. I then stamped the sentiment on the card base, fussy cut the smaller egg and adhered the square on fun foam topped with the second egg.

Stay safe and I'll be back very soon with more to share.
Such an adorable Easter card, Anita. The gold embossing looks great and your bun and eggs are the cutest! The stitched dies go perfectly with the stitching on your images. Happy Easter to you.
