Hi there
Just a quick post tonight to share the birthday card I made for my lovely my,
I've only used this Altenew stamp set once before and wanted to ink up the leaves in autumnal shades this time.
I love the co-ordinating dot layers in this stamp set and wanted to emboss them. So on a die cut panel I stamped the leaves in orange and brown around a central sentiment. I blasted the images with my heat gun and used some anti-static powder before then inking up the dot layers with VersaMark and heat embossing in gold. I adhered the panel onto the card base on fun foam. I was going to add some sequins and gems but it looked too busy with the metallic dots so I decided to call this one finished.
