A Couple Of Cards …

Thought I’d pop on a couple of cards I have made recently while playing with my Stampin’ Up supplies.

This one is my first attempt at a technique called masking which you can use to make images appear to be in the foreground or background – a layering effect. The lettering is done using embossing to give a silver raised finish. I’ve added some rhinestones to the flowers for a bit of sparkle!

Stamp set: Bodacious Bouquet, Stem Silhouettes
Ink: Brocade Blue, Bravo Burgundy, Regal Rose
Cardstock: Brocade Blue, Bravo Burgundy, Whisper White
Accessories: Rhinestones (from my craft supplies), embossing kit and heat tool

This next card is another one that uses the technique of embossing. 

Stamp Sets: Birthday Whimsy, Sincere Salutations
Ink: Embossing Pad
Cardstock: Naturals Ivory, More Mustard, Not Quite Navy
Accessories: Embossing Kit and Heat Tool , Mat Pack and Paper Piercer

Will be back later in the week with some more cards!

Cheers, Sue
