Today I'm sharing an ombre style, emboss resist card,
with inspiration from the awesome Jennifer McGuire
I would definitely recommend watching the video for this style.
Usually, if I try something 'arty' like this, it ends up in the bin,
so I am thrilled with how this turned out.
I used a large, lace background stamp from MFTstamps.
A tip I picked up from the video is that, once you've inked your stamp with Versamark, it's easier to press your card onto the top of the stamp.
Then sprinkle with white embossing powder and heat set.
I had a little trouble with the sentiment.
My sandwich of card and foam with Stick It, just would not cut through cleanly.
So I ended up die cutting them separately and then sticking them together.
I cut out the sentiment on my embossed panel, place some ds tape over the back,
and then pressed my 'congrats' into the space.
Just remember to keep all those tiny little pieces from the embossed panel, that need to be put back in.

LOVE AND ROMANCE
(Classy and elegant style - hopefully! )
I made this as a wedding card, but looking at it now I think I could use it for
an anniversary, or maybe a new baby girl.
And, in real life, the glitter on the sentiment is so much prettier.
