For my first card I used another amazing layering set called Rose Garden along with the Angled squares background stamp. To make the card I started by stamping the background onto Midnight card stock with Versamark and embossed with Clear Embossing powder. I stamped the flowers and die cut with the coordinating dies. For the sentiment, again, I used Midnight card stock and embossed it with white embossing powder. I assembled my panel and adhered to Midnight top folding note card.
For my second card I used Spooky Hollow set and dies. I stamped the house on Premium White card stock using Midnight ink, then colored with Copic markers and die cut. Next I did some ink blending using Midnight, Grape Crush, Royal Treatment, Party Dress, Tiki Torch and Limoncello inks. Once my panel was done I stamped the background images using Midnight ink and stamped the sentiment with Versamark and embossed in white.
To finish off the card I adhered the panel onto Midnight top folding card base.

ReplyDeleteThese are two very different cards ! I love them both for different reasons.
