Spring Combo Challenge at Stamp TV

This week’s challenge at Gina K’s stamp TV is to combine a flower focal image with using a die to emboss…not cut.  It took a little thinking and planning, but here is what I came up with:
After taping off the edges of a piece of white cardstock, I sponged on Gina K ink (Innocent Pink and Tomato Soup).  While the ink was wet, I brushed on Perfect Pearls (Biscotti).  The panel was then “embossed” with the “Retro Cutting Plate” from Taylored Expressions.

When I use any kind of sprays on a project, I always have extra paper around to create some interesting backgrounds from the “extra” spray left on the mat.  The flower on this card was stamped onto a scrap of one of those art orphans.  The Gina K stamp is from from the “Especially For You Duo”.   I used Archival Ink (Potting Soil) and Gina K Fine Detail Clear embossing powder, then fussy cut it. 

I finished the card with ribbon from Gina K (sorry, I couldn’t find it in their shop), a sentiment tag (Gina K “Happy Birthday Duo”) and some “gems” from my stash that I altered with Copic Marker.  I also used Distress Ink (Fossilized Amber) to distress the edges of the white papers.  The paper is from Gina K and Club Scrap.


Thank you for stopping by!

  1. Stunning card, Rose. I had to come by and read how you made it, great job! I really like how you did the two tone panel, it gives the card more interest. Thank you for playing along this week over at StampTV.
