Blossom Branch

I have couple of cards using my Penny Black 'Blossom Branch' stamp...I love this stamp, and am enjoying trying out lots of different techniques with it. This time, I stamped the image using Versamark Ink, then heat embossed it using white embossing powder. I then stamped a sentiment (from the 'Fabulous Birthday' set by Hero Arts) in black ink, then heat embossed that using clear embossing powder. I made a couple of identical panels, and blended different combinations of Distress Inks over the top of the embossing on each, before distressing the edges a little, and adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.


I went for pastel shades on one of the cards using the colours Tattered Rose, Scattered Straw & Bundled Sage.


And gave the other a more tropical feel using Seedless Preserves, Salty Ocean & Peacock Feathers.

    Two beautiful cards, but as I am a sucker for mauves and turquoises combined that's my favourite!

    Thank you so much for sharing in our 'wet or dry embossing' challenge.
