CARDS DETAILS

I started with a piece of cardstock, Slate, cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2″. Next, I masked 1/4” off on each side using low tack tape and placed it inside my MISTI tool. The tape actually does double duty here – it not only does it mask the edges but also holds the paper in place inside the MISTI. I  heat embossed a Cosmos Blooms background, it’s a new 6×6 cling stamp from Simon. It is a beautiful one for coloring, you have nice large flowers, but it’s also a great one to do these simple heat embossed cards. I am all for simple and quick so this background is simply perfect for the idea I have in mind.

I used Antique Gold embossing powder here. Next, with the masking tape still in place, I ink blended the edges with Sparrow ink. This helped the embossing powder pop even more and it also helped to frame the design. Next, I peeled the tape and adhered this panel onto the A2 white side folding card base.

To create a sentiment I heat embossed “Just Because” from Simon’s new Greetings Mix 1 set in same Antique Gold embossing powder, but on white cardstock this time. Finally, I am used a white Sakura pen to color the flower centers white. I debated doing this, I am always afraid to mess up my cards like this, but I figured why not give it a try. I colored one of the flower centers, I liked it and so I colored the rest. I also used sequins to decorate this card – a few from the Raindrops set and a couple from the Gala set.
