I stamped the Simply Said Blocks sentiment in black ink multiple times on a strip of white cardstock using my MISTI. I used black for the mat & added the snowflakes panel. I'm entering SSS Wednesday (emboss resist) & Uniko Challenge 63.
Recently I watched Gina K's video & was inspired to pull out a dark Copic & give it a try. I gold embossed the image from Gina K A Big Hello & colored all the vanilla cardstock with R59. 
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
I used the same Uniko stamp sets to make a birthday card for the Uniko 9th Anniversary Celebration. This time I stamped snowflakes in DO faded jeans, wilted violet & rustic wilderness. 
The sentiment was stamped in Brilliance Graphite Black & I added splatters. CAS, 1 layer card ready to mail.
Then I gold embossed again for thick, smooth lines. The texture was made by dabbing with Alcohol Ink Blending Solution on a piece of felt. The edge was made with a PPP die & the sentiment from Sketched Wreath Builder was stamped in PTI Scarlet Jewel. 
I colored the little hearts with a gold glitter pen & added gold splatters. I used several pieces of cardstock behind the focal point before adding it to the card front. I'm entering the GK February Monthly Mix challenge.
Three beauties, Greta - especially love the Valentine with the texture when blending solution - so pretty!
ReplyDeletewhat stunners Greta. Love the texture you achieved with the alcohol inked background. Really makes the gold embossing pop. And love your snowflake cards.
