Where Creativity Meets C9 - Challenge #11 Embossing
Hi, welcome back. Here is my entry for this challenge. Have been a big fan of Concord & 9th stamps and am slowly collecting some of the beautiful stamps they have available.
The stamp sets I chose for this Challenge are Concord & 9th Tree Ring and Eat Cake & Celebrate.
As this Challenge is all about Embossing, I began by stamping the Tree Ring image all over a piece of Tim Holtz watercolour card stock and embossed it using Simon Says Stamp white embossing powder to create an embossed resist background.
I then made some water colours from Distress Inks (wilted violet, fossilised amber and cracked pistachio). I am slowly adding to my collection of Oxide Inks as I only have a few at this stage but love the results they give.
I stamped and embossed the word "celebrate" and the candles from the Eat Cake & Celebrate stamp set using Versafine onyx black ink and Simon Says Stamp clear embossing powder. The candles were stamped onto a small piece of water colour paper and I used the same Distress Ink colours to match the background to colour the images. To add highlights to the candle flames I used a gold glitter marker.
I attached the panel to a card front and to finish off added some sequins from my stash. Hope you enjoyed this post, and thanks for stopped by!
