You & Me - emboss resist, die cutting

Hugs and Kisses for you and me :) My card features emboss resist using an Impression Obsession background stamp and Distress marker with Impression Obsession die cuts and Stampin' Up papers.

Putting It Together

I like experimenting with different supplies and techniques even when I don't have a specific project in mind. I put the 'backgrounds' in a box to hold for another day. I accumulated quite a few over the past few months. 

Today I spent some time sorting that box and reminding myself of some of the things I had made. One of them gave me an idea for the card I made today.

In July 2019, I embossed a panel with a background stamp and hot pink powder.

I then used the Distress Spritzer with Distress markers to add blues.

I used a few blues and blue-greens to add colour.

After wiping the embossing with a cloth, the colour remained. I tossed it into my box and forgot it until today.

The colours in the embossing and Distress ink gave me an idea. I die cut the sentiments and found papers and ribbon in my stash that looked good with the embossed panel to do a dry fit to see to see it coming together. I used a glittered cardstock for the xoxo and foiled cardstock for the "You & Me" for a tiny bit of glitz.

I used the light blue as a card base and added everything with a glue pen and tape runner for a simple, elegant card. I decided to do a side fold mostly because I already had a panel cut and only have one other uncut sheet of the paper (I think I need to order some, it's a very pretty colour).

Inside, I added another xoxo die-cutting in silver leaving the rest blank for a handwritten sentiment.
