Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Last month's Group of Seven Cardmakers used stenciling over heat embossing.
I love this technique but my first try was a bust.
The embossing powder didn't stick well to the ink.
I went ahead and stenciled a tree over and if you look close you can see the bits
of white embossing. They do not look anywhere near what the snowflake stamp looks.
(I used a handmade stencil using vellum and a die.)
So I stamped again with gold ink and used gold embossing powder then fussy cut
the tree out.
I had a gold die cut snowflake in the box and popped that and a sentiment strip on top.
I think it makes a passable Christmas card and used up a discard piece.
Challenges:
ABC Christmas - U is for use it up
Peace on Earth - ATG Christmas
Card Recipe
Stamps: Hand Drawn Snowflakes Bold Prints (HA)
Ink: Field (SSS), Encore Gold
Paper: Neenah Solar White

Enjoy!

Gorgeous texture with the clear ep, Bonnie but the gold really pops - love your triangle tree!!
I think it's really lovely. x
The green and the gold look beautiful Bonnie, and you definitely made a brilliant tree out of the first piece and love the embossed snowflakes in the background and the gold on white sentiment strip across it to finish. x
Whatever went wrong you definitely turned it into a stunning card. Love the gold and green xx
Great save with this card Bonnie. The gold embossed snowflakes are so beautiful with the green stenciled tree. xx

Way to save that panel, Bonnie. I love the gold snowflakes on the tree.
Glad you stuck it out, this is lovely! The gold added just the pizzaz the tree needed!
the end result is beautiful Bonnie ♥
There is always some trial and try again...the gold is fabulous.
This is way more than passable, it is beautiful. The gold really makes gorgeous snowflakes to float down on the tree.
Brilliant save! The gold with the green looks amazing! Beautiful card.
This card is so simple and yet so effective. A beautiful combination of an embossed background and an embossed Christmas tree.
