Today’s card is a little time consuming, but I think the results are beautiful, if I do say so myself. I am still in an embossing mood from a few weeks ago.
Ok, I guess you can’t really see the embossing in the photo, but it is there. I really enjoyed the method process of this card, and a process it was. I first stamped the background into White Daisy cardstock in Black ink. I then used Close To My Hearts Ruby pigment ink with the flower stamp. I really love the pigment inks from Close To My Heart and they come in every color. How cool is that! I then used clear embossing powder over the pigment ink and used my heat gun to emboss the powder. I did this separately for all three sizes of the flowers. I then used Honey pigment ink for the centers of the flowers repeating the process of the embossing powder and heat gun.
I used a Close To My Hearts spray pen(they come in a 3 pack) with Ruby reinker and water following the directions that come with the bottle. You can use more or less water depending on the degree of color you want. I sprayed just the lightest of sprays onto the stamped paper. It may be hard to see, but there are tiny little Ruby dots.
I stamped my sentiment in Black ink onto White Daisy cardstock and then layered it onto Ruby cardstock followed by Black cardstock. I added three brads, and my card was finished.
