Dreamy Embossing

This card used a combination of 2 heat embossing videos.

I had watched this video from Stamp TV, tried it. 
Didn't work well for me.
I'll share the blooper later.

I thought maybe doing this technique over colored stamping would work better for me.

So I put this Dreamy stamp on MISTI, inked with markers,
cleaned the stamp, and inked with VersaMark.
Ran over to the embossing table and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

I loved the Layered Emboss Resist technique from Altenew.
You may remember that I used this technique on these cards.
So I sponged over the whole piece with some Vintage Photo Distress ink.

Then I stamped the flourish a few times on the card using the VersaMark ink
and clear embossed that.

I sponged over it all with Brushed Corduroy.

After wiping the excess ink off the embossed pieces, I stamped some more
flourishes and this time embossed with white.

The sentiment was heat embossed with white on a piece that was cut off the final piece.

I put a narrow mat of gold foil behind the design to give it some elegance.

I love the shine the embossing adds.


CAS Mix Up May Challenge

I used Inking with Markers, Stamping, Heat Embossing, and Emboss Resist

and

Penny Black and More

ANYTHING GOES

Now....

Want to see the bloopers and blunders?

Maybe some more black ink sponged on?  Or lighter on the watercolor.

Definitely need to wait awhile between sponging and embossing!

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
