Oh my gosh, 2 posts in one day, woo hoo!!! Back with another card that I made from today's class. Today one of the lessons was embossing die cuts and I was so inspired Jennifer's first card, that I cased it changing things up just a little. I absolutely love the prim poppy die cut by memory box. It is so delicate and I love Jennifer's tip to die cut 2 pieces of cardstock glued together and that is what I did. Worked like a charm! I used more of the beautiful memento luxe inks and clear embossed them. I embossed the poppy image 3 times and the butterflies only once. I also embossed the sentiment using the rich cocoa ink and clear embossing powder. I popped my embossed panel up over the aqua mist panel. Can't wait to see the gallery. I haven't visited it in a few days.
I need to clean up my crap room (affectionately named, lol!) My hubby went into last night and told me it looked like a hoarders room!!! Yikes! OK, he MIGHT have a point, but I haven't found a way to be creative without being messy, have you?
Anywho, here is my card for today's class:
supplies:
cardstock: kraft, white, aqua mist
ink: memento luxe - lilac posies, sweet plum
rich cocoa, versamark
die cut: prim poppy by memory box
embossing folder: lifestyle crafts
Martha Stewart butterfly punch
nestabilities
pearls
Love the way you embossed the white. The poppies are beautiful.
