Happy Day 10 sweet friends!!! Today is Card Patterns Saturday and I have a fun little card based on the Card Patterns Sketch to share with you as well as a new technique!!!
Here's the sketch:
and the sponsor:
Monica was so generous to us and I was absolutely thrilled to try the art of metal sheet embossing!! I have to say it is a wonderful technique and the results are amazing!!! I I used Stampin Up's Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and ran the metal through my Big Shot just like a regular piece of paper and the result is a crisp and shiny embossed image!! Why haven't I tried this sooner!! Thanks Monica!!!! I just love metal sheet embossing!
I cut out a 3 1/4" x 4 3/4" piece of Vintage Hymnal paper and punched a 1 3/4" hole in it and also punched the edge with Martha Stewart's Doily Lace Punch.
I stamped the Nativity Silhouettes with Tim Holtz Pumice Stone Ink and placed them over the punched hole so that the embossed metal would show through. There is such a striking difference between the paper and the metal!!
Supplies Used:
Add a Little Dazzle Colored Metal Sheet
Stampin Up! Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder
Papertrey Ink Nativity Silhouettes Die and Stamps; Photo Finisher Die and Stamps
Hand Dyed Seam Binding and Glitter Star: MemrieMare
Papertrey Ink Rustic Cream Cardstock
Vintage Hymnal Paper
Tim Holtz Pumice Stone Distress Ink
Thanks for stopping by!!!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
