Ultra Thick Embossing

This is a card made as a demonstration sample last month when I was using embossing powders and inks.  The background was a piece of white card sponged using Distress inks and with some over-stamping.  The puzzle piece was from a charity shop buy (child's large piece puzzle) - a piece had some gesso applied to cover up the bright coloured picture; this was then coloured with DI and stamped with a leafy design before being triple embossed using clear UTEE.  I hope the person who receives this doesn't think the words are badly stamped - the actual stamp has this grungy effect!!

I hope the weather is good where you are because here it is grey and wet which makes me really pleased that I forced myself to mow the lawns yesterday - almost a hay making job as the grass had grown so long.


Background - Distress inks
Stamps - freebies given with a magazine

  7. lovely Val - will have to dig out the old jigsaw i bought years ago and the ultra thick powder I haven't used for years - sometime when i have time to look for them! It is good to be reminded of what we used to do, I think we all get hooked on the new craze and forget the older techniques!

  8. Hi Val, I'm doing a blog hop this morning now I'm finally getting my head back in the right place after the past few months. I notice it's over 2 weeks since this post which is unusual for you I think so I do hope you are ok and all is well with your world.

    Love how you used the jigsaw piece on this lovely card. Very pretty colourse too! I know what you mean about the grungy font, lol, but it is one of my favourites.

    Hugs
