Embossing with Dies

Hello! It is fun to use dies for embossing and it is interesting what you can do with that technique.  To make a card with die embossing, I chose an older die from Cheery Lynn, the first one I bought from that company. For the top card, I embossed the large Fanciful Flourish die along with Cheery Lynn Thank You dies on a panel of White cardstock. I sponged it with DOI Vintage Photo to achieve an antique distressed look.  I stamped some flowers on pink card stock with Memento Pink ink using a Heartfelt Creations Rose stamp. I fussy cut the flowers and attached with foam tape. Attached to a pink card base to finish.

I decided to make another card but made it more CAS with out the background inked giving more white space.  For this one I only used the Fanciful Flourish die for embossing and stamped the GKD Sentiment with Memento Brown ink. I stamped the same flower - 2 directly on the card and one that I stamped on white Cardstock and fussy cut. I stamped the roses with same pink ink  and colored with pencil and markers.  I distressed the edge of the panel with DOI Walnut Stain and used a brown card base.

Challenges:

The Flower Challenge: #48 Color Pink and Brown
CAS Mix Up Card Challenge: September  Mixed Media Challenge Embossing with Dies. Include stamping and at least one other Mixed Media Element.  I also used fussy cutting  and sponging. 

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa
