WOW! Gratitude Card

Have you seen the new Wow! Embossing Powders blog? If not, what are you waiting for?!! Let me just tell you, you are going to fall in love with these embossing powders! and the stamps? Pure wonderful!

For this card today, inked one side of an embossing folder with Versamark ink, and ran the paper through a Cuttlebug machine. When it came out, I sprinkled it with the Suzy West Earthtone Pepper embossing powder and heat set it. It filled in the recessed areas with wonderful pepper-colored texture that I just adore.

The leaves and the sentiment are from the new Gratitude stamp set (a must have!) They were embossed as well. Notice how great the sentiment embossed. It's very clear and super easy to read. The true sign of a great embossing powder.

Inspired by Stamping

Do you ever see a stamp set that just makes your heart skip a beat, because it's so beautiful? That's how I felt when I saw Inspired By Stamping's Delicate Doilies. I was immediately in love! And I also used a couple of stamps from the French Boutique set - they look so wonderful together! I stamped my main medallion and the arch on vellum and embossed them with dark brown powder. I was really pleased with the effect I achieved with this technique. Inspired by Stamping had a new release this past week - and I promise you, there are more gorgeous stamps waiting to be discovered. So head over and check it out. In December, the Design Team will start previewing new sets, so be sure to keep stopping by!
