FAUX DRY EMBOSSING

"Baroque Motifs" is such an elegant stamp set to work with--and ever so easy! On River Rock card stock, I stamped the swirly image with Old Olive ink, cleaned the stamp, and then stamped again with Whisper White Craft ink. The trick to faux dry embossing is to very slightly move the stamp over a bit when you overstamp with the white ink. Other SU products used to create this card are Elegant Eggplant card stock and ink, Boho Blossoms punch, slit punch, "Warm Words" stamp set, Antique Brass HodgePodge Hardware, large and small Oval punches, and an Ice Square Rhinestone brad. The layout for this card was totally CASE'd from another demonstrator with a couple of minor changes from me.

SO VERY . . . SORRY

I've been busy with chores today, but I had to take a moment to make a sympathy card. It's hard to tell from the picture, but I used the "rock & roll" technique with Soft Sky and River Rock Classic inks on the main stamped image. Layered on top of that is a Soft Sky accent punched with the Snow Blossom punch and embellished with one of those gorgeous little rhinestone brads. Card stock colors are Soft Sky, River Rock, and Whisper White.
