SHOPPING OUR STASH #320 - Emboss Like A Boss

Hello and welcome friends!

This week at

SHOPPING OUR STASH

we have an easy challenge for you:

Use heat embossing AND dry embossing on your projects!

For my card, I heat embossed the floral background stamp in gold, then

water colored it using various Memento inks smooshed onto my craft mat,

and a water brush. (as always, my supply list is at the end of my post)

This particular stamp also came with a matching embossing folder (bonus!)

so I used it for the dry embossing:

 You can see the some of the dry embossed areas better here:

 and the inside:

I did use 5 inks on this card. Tangelo (mandarin), Elderberry (verve violet), Teal Zeal (turquish),

Summer Sky (resonant blue) and Nautical Blue (honorable blue). Tangelo and Elderberry for the flowers, Teal Zeal for the flourishes, and Summer Sky for the background with Nautical Blue around

the edges, using a water brush. Water coloring is not my strength. LOL! After everything was dry, I used a couple PrismaColor pencils to add dimension to the flowers, then I ran the panel through my Grand Calibur using the accompanying embossing folder. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment onto vellum and attached it to the main panel, then die cut a stitched frame to adhere over it. 

Another stamped sentiment finishes the inside.

I hope you get a chance to play along this week at Shopping Our Stash! We'd love
