Not Just For Embossing!!

 
Good morning and thanks for stopping by.  Today over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration, its Technique Tuesday and we are using our embossing folders to stamp with instead of emboss with.  I love that you can use items for many other purposes other than what they were intended for.  Makes me feel like I got a 2 for one sale!!!

 
I started with a base color of crisp cantaloupe then a layer of very vanilla.  I embossed that layer with the fancy fan embossing folder.  Then I used my scalloped tag punch and punched me out a tag that was 2" x 4".  I took my fancy fan folder, and on the raised side, used my crisp cantaloupe marker and colored on it.  I then took my spritzer with a little water in it, sprayed on the ink lightly with one spray.  I then layered my tag down on it and gave a light tap or two to transfer it over.  When you lift it up, you have a water colored stamp look.  After I allowed it to dry for a few minutes I used the Serene Silhouette stamp set and in blackberry bliss, stamped the flower image. 

 
On the inside, I used the opposite side of the folder and inked it with my ink pad and stamped in the corners.  I also used the splattered dots from Gorgeous Grunge to stamp the front of card and inside.

Love and Sympathy with PPA188



Hello bloggers!  Thanks for stopping by to check out my creation for the card sketch over at Pals Paper Arts.  They have come up with a really nice and simple sketch.  I am in need of some sympathy cards but wanted to cheer it up a little with a flower and not just any flower but a flower made from ribbon to add a nice 3-d touch to the front of the card.

I used crushed curry chevron ribbon to make my flower.  I also added two burlap ribbon banner tails.  Now this may not want to be a card you try to mail, but its a lovely card to be hand delivered to a special friend.

I kept the inside simple with cutting out a patterned strip from the Afternoon Picnic DSP.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have enjoyed my card.  Leave some "love" as I always enjoy reading your thoughts!
