I made this card using the GKD Flowing Florals Stamp Set, with the Mixed Messages Sentiment Sheets for the greeting. I began by stenciling the background on White Layering Weight Card Stock with Whisper Ink, using the Ornamental Fans Stencil and my GKD Blending Brushes. I heat embossed that beautiful stamp on Black Onyx Card Stock using GKD Watermark and Embossing Ink and GKD Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder. The Flowers from the stamp set were stamped with Cherry Red and Tangerine Twist Ink, using the rock and roll method, and the leaves were stamped with Sea Glass and Tranquil Teal Ink using that same method. They were die cut using the companion dies from the Flowing Florals Stamp Set. I cut the card panels using the GKD Master Layouts 1 Die Set. The card was then constructed using GKD Connect Glue. Card stocks used were Black Onyx, White Layering Weight and Red Hot.
So that's it for me this time. Thanks for stopping by, I always enjoy your comments. If you are the praying kind, please lift one up for all those who are suffering from the despicable horror that is going on over in Ukraine. There are no words!!! And don't forget to swing on over to The Mod Squad Challenge and play along. You could win the prize!
The stenciling and gold embossing are so beautiful and yet such a lovely contrast too! I love the bursts of colors from those pretty posies and not so green greenery! Lovely all over!
ReplyDeleteI would haver have thought to include both stenciling and gold heat embossing on the same background, Judy, but it looks fantastic with that lovely floral spray tying them together.
ReplyDeleteHow did you ever manage to pull so many things out of your Gina K bag and make them all go togther in this fabulous way? That gold embossing mixed with the stencil background is so unique and then you didn't stop there! No, you added the bright red and the sea glass and teal ink of the leaves makes this cardd outstanding and brillant!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! This is so beautiful, and the pops of tangerine really bring this to life. Stenciling, heat embossing, stamping...you used every trick in the book to fabulous effect.
ReplyDeleteVery creative and beautifully designed with the way you combined and coordinated. Love every inch of it!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Judy, so rich and exotic looking. CarolG
