Day 173: Father's Day Card

If you are wondering why I am posting about making my husband a Father's Day card when Father's Day has already come and gone, it is because he was out of town for work on Father's Day.  He is due back tomorrow, so I made his card tonight.  I used a combination of Stampin' Up! stamps from "Set Sail" and "The Open Sea" stamp sets. I  stamped the sail boat image on Neenah paper with Memento ink, and then colored the image with Copic markers.  All other papers and inks are by Stampin' Up. The baker's twine is from We R Memory Keepers.  "Everything" stamp is by Penny Black.

Day 16: Embossing a Background

From the time the kids were little, they have always blown the fluffy white dandelions off their stems and made a wish. I took photos of them doing that and tonight I was working on my daughter's scrapbook page. Using VersaMark ink, I stamped several of Penny Black's "lace flower" stamp on white vellum. I poured white embossing powder (Stampin' Up!) on the blooms, shook off the excess, and then poured green embossing powder (Stampin' Up!) on the stems, shook off the excess, and then heated with my heat tool (Stampin' Up!). I really like the effect. It looks like the dandelions are blowing around in the wind, and the vellum adds a softness to the page I like. I still have more to do on this page, but it is late, so I will get back to it tomorrow.
