Hi! Another great challenge is here from the Addicted To Stamps And More challenge blog. This week it is
I decided to pull out an old, never-before-used stamp set by STAMPlorations. Here is the card I created.
I stamped the Framed Zinia on a piece of plain white cardstock with Versamark Onyx Black ink. I colored it with my Zigs, blending pink and yellow colors with a wet brush. These markers are so easy to work with! I am really glad I bought them! I added a little black and brown to the edges and the flower centres. Once the piece was dry I trimmed it, covered it with Versamark ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I did five layers of embossing for a nice glossy finish.
Here is a closer look at the panel.
The pink matting is a scrap of paper from my stash. The black card base was stamped with the Linen Background stamp by My Favorite Things with Versamark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
I decided to forego a sentiment since I felt the card looks striking the way it is.
I hope you like my card and are inspired to create something beautiful. Please do visit us at Addicted To Stamps And More Challenges for more amazing inspiration and to link your creations. Looking forward to seeing you in our gallery.

Amazing card, Nandini! Love those rich colors together and textured black card base.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Nandini!! Love the black background with the clear embossed linen design on black. It's AWESOME! And your watercoloured flowers are gorgeous. Adding the five layers of clear embossing makes this so shiny and thick. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
ReplyDeleteI have a stamp from Stamplorations very similar to this one, seeing your gorgeous card makes me want to get it out straight away!! Would never think to watercolour with pink and yellow, it looks amazing and love how you created the shine on the image too. So glad you shared this with us at The Flower Challenge this month!!
ReplyDeleteHello there, I love the pretty floral image on your card, and fab heat embossing too, 5 layers wow, but they do look so glossy, marvellous background too. Thank you for joining the challenge at BBB and good luck with the challenge, Kate x

This is so dramatic, Nandini, with the tile finish on the flower panel and the embossed linen main panel. Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteWhat a truly amazing card Nandini! The triple embossing is a brilliant idea and I've never seen it done on a tag before but it gives such awesome results on your card that I have to try that too. I really LOVE your card. Hugs, Gwendolyn
