Copper Embossed Gift of Love Cards
Today's projects feature the lovely stamp set called Gift of Love, which is only available when you host a party or place an individual customer order of $150 or more. I couldn't wait to try out these floral stems with the new Copper Embossing Powder. I love that copper is making a trendy comeback! I think my "Last Thursdays" class is going to love it, too!
Background Embossing—I started by creating a simple patterned background embossed in that beautiful copper color. I stamped the Gorgeous Grunge lines image across the Pool Party card front using VersaMark Ink, then sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and heated it with the Heat Tool until smooth & glossy.
Watercolored Blooms—I stamped the Gift of Love flowers in VersaMark Ink onto a 2-1/4" x 4-1/4" piece of Whisper White, then embossed that in copper, too. Next, I added color to the image using a Blender Pen dipped into ink pressed onto the Classic Ink Pad lids. I colored each flower completely with Pool Party ink, then blended in a little Island Indigo ink in the centers. The leaves are colored with Wild Wasabi. The layer was adhered to a 2-3/8" x 4-3/8" piece of Island Indigo card stock, then popped up with Dimensionals.
Finishing Touches—I added a few tiny Pearl Jewels around the flowers.
Sweet Sentiment—I stamped a greeting from the Gift of Love stamp set in Island Indigo ink onto Whisper White scrap card stock, then die-cut it with the new Bunch of Banners Framelits. It's popped up with Dimensionals, as well.
Two Cool—My second card uses a whole new color combination, starting with a Flirty Flamingo card base and flowers colored in Flirty Flamingo & Rose Red inks. This time, the background was stamped with a pattern from Timeless Textures, then embossed.
Greeting—I used a sentiment from Blooms & Wishes stamped in Rose Red ink for the banner. I love that handwritten font!
