I stamped the images using Versamark Ink, then heat embossed them in white, before blending Distress Inks over the top. On the card with the leaves, I used Lucky Clover, Cracked Pistachio & Mermaid Lagoon:
And on the card with the flowers, I used Wilted Violet, Seedless Preserves & Picked Raspberry:
On both cards, I matted the panels on to some silver mirror card, and added a sentiment (from the 'Big Messages' set by Paula Pascual) stamped on to a banner shape.
Challenges for these cards:
- Alphabet Challenge - I is for Ink It Up
