Consider It Cased 58

Hello Peeps !!!


Happy Saturday !!!

It's time to play Consider It Cased week and look what I found at Kathy's blog ( The Paper Stamper).
I absolutely love her flower creation and the way she mix her flowers.  I do not have the other stamp set so I did make a few changes on my card. I kept the background paper for my lattice, something that I have not done before but it just makes an intersting background. I also used versamark pen to my flowers to give it a bit of texture. Hope you like it.

Brayered Elegance

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Tuesday !!!

I try very much not to embossed so I tried using brayer after I did dry embossing on my background. You just have to be careful to spread your ink evenly but then again if you wanted the light and dark colors in your background. it will work just as well. I used the 5-petal punch for the flower, spritz it with water, crumpled to achieve the distressed look. Hope you like it.

RECIPE:
Stamps:  Every Moment
Paper:  Whisper White, Concord Crush
Ink:  Concord Crush
Accessories:  organdy ribbon, bling
Tools:  Big Shot, elegant lines EF, Boho Blossom punch, petal punch, piercing tool
