Hello friends. Time for a new challenge here at
The Flower Challenge and we'd like to see
EMBOSSING (heat or dry) on your floral cards.
I used a beloved Gina K embossing folder called
Tapestry for a part of my background and came up with this...
I started by stamping my floral image from The Greetery's
Sketchbook Roses stamp set using Berry Burst, Rich Razzleberry, Pear Pizazz, & Mossy Meadow inks (SU!) and then used the coordinating die to cut it out. I used a top folding white card base and added a strip of Berry Burst cs that I had used the embossing folder on to the base before adhering my floral image.
I added a simple sentiment strip that I embossed in white on black using
All At Once Greetings by Gina K, and also added a few silver gems that don't really show up in my photos. A pretty simple card, but I love the color and the stamp set along with that embossed strip in the background.
The DT has lots of beautiful inspiration using both dry and heat embossing to get you started, so check it all out right
HERE and then play along with us! This challenge is open till
Wednesday, June 25th @ 5:00PM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
Marcia, your embossed strip of colored paper is such an eyecatching method of anchoring those lovely roses. Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteDrop dead gorgeous, Marcia! I just love your embossed panel! [Remind me to stamp those roses again on our next playdate, please!] I'd like two dozen of those Berry Burst roses!

I agree with Michelle drop dead gorgeous indeed. The embossed panel works so beautifully with those gorgeous blooms and your colour choices are to die for.

Beautiful card Marcia. Love the strip of embossed Berry Burst and your lovely colored flowers. Great choice of colors. I have this set but have never used it. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThe word that comes to mind is regal, Marcia! These colors blend so well and the embossing done on the Berry Burst cardstock looks like expensive fabric! A beautiful card, my friend!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your embossed strip is gorgeous, but the color adds so much to your already pretty bouquet!
ReplyDeleteMy stars, the rich colors of your stamped flowers is amazing! Add the strip of embossing, and it's simply gorgeous. Ah-mazing, my friend!
ReplyDeleteYour deep berry colors paired with the olive-y greens is gorgeous! Add in the embossed panel and all of that crisp white and you've got yourself one marvelous work of art!
ReplyDeleteGasp! I've been looking for the longest time... The colors! The sketchy stamp! The gorgeous embossing! Let me catch my breath... This is utterly stunning, Marcia!
ReplyDeleteThis card is so rich and so gorgeous, Marcia. Every detail adds so much to your design, and the colors are the stars here. Simple and elegant. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm swooning over the colors you used for those beautiful rose, Marcia! Plus you used one of my all time fav efs too. Gorgeous card, my dear!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Love your gorgeous blooms over top of the embossed trip, Marcia. It's the colours that are absolutely STUNNING and add such richness to your design. Great work, my friend! xx
ReplyDeleteThe deep color of your roses is so vibrant and elegant, Marcia. Adding an embossed strip of the same color added to the impact of that bouquet.
