Welcome friends. Today, I have two cards to share with you using the gorgeous Lace Leaf stamp set from Concord & 9th. My second card also features the coordinating die set, Grateful Leaf, as well.

For my first card, I started by taking the large splatter type image from the Lace Leaf set. I stamped it using the Hero Arts Fall Ombre ink pad. I then heat embossed the beautiful leaf image over top of that with the Ranger Super Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder. Isn't it just beautiful? I then decided to add some gold to the outsides of my card panel so I ran my Versamark ink pad over the edges and then dipped them in the same gold embossing powder. I finished off the card be heat embossing the I miss you sentiment from Concord & 9th's Map Love stamp set. I added the card panel up on foam tape and added some sequins. I can't wait to send this to a long distance friend or family member later this fall.
For my second card, I did more heat embossing of just the main leaf image. I then die cut the grateful word die from the coordinating die set three times. On the top layer, I just smooshed my ink pad over top of it to give it the same color as what I stamped the rest of the sentiment in. Again, I added some sequins and some foam tape.
So very pretty, Alanna. What lovely images in those leaf and splatter stamps. You've used them to perfection in these cards. I like that you added the gold around the edge on the first card. Great finishing touch. Beautiful cards! Hugs! :)
ReplyDeleteAlanna, your cards are absolutely stunning. I love them. I have that set and can't wait to play with it now. Thanks for the great work and commitment to the store! Jane
ReplyDeleteOMGSH, these are both just gorgeous! I will probably try to copy them both! But the idea of edging with versamark clear and gold embossing powder - is just a {{head smack}} stupendous idea! Wow!
