Content

 

It is a cold, rainy Saturday morning and as I sit here sipping my coffee and writing up this post, I feel that my heart is full. My boys are back and sleeping in, the dog is hogging the space by the heater and everything just seems content...

I'm playing along with Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday #243: Ink Blending Over Heat Embossing. Since I already had the In Bloom Stamp Set out from the PTI Blog Hop, I challenged myself to use the images in a way that I haven't. I stamped and heat embossed in white the blooms only (with a bit of masking) onto a Stone Gray Cardstock panel, then added purple and blue ink over the top. I mounted this onto a white linen panel, and it all then went on a light purple card base. I finished the card with a heat embossed sentiment from Communique Curves, a staple and some silver rhinestones.

Here's a regular shot of the card...

  12. I would never have thought to ink over non--white cardstock. I love the resulting colours though - so soft and gorgeous. And that flower is one of my favourites. Must go dig it out...
    And your Saturday morning sounds pretty perfect! :)
