Blue Thoughts
>> Wednesday, January 15, 2020
Hello fellow stamp lovers!
I have been wanting to do some elegant white embossing like Julie sometimes does and then I saw some beautiful blue colors in the Splitcoaststampers.com color challenge this week. Those two ideas were the perfect inspiration for a thinking of you card that I need to send to a friend. She loves rustic things but she is also very elegant. She competes in National Horse Shows and has several World champion horses. I think she will love this card.
I heat embossed the vine from the Four Flower Background after stamping with versamark. Then added more embossing around the edges. Then I did a water color wash with several blues and let that dry. Next I added some distress ink. Splashed the whole thing with water and then dabbed it with a paper towel. The water took the distress ink off in spots and whitened my embossing back up. Next I heat embossed the On My Mind greeting on some black cardstock.
Hope your week is going well.
