This
month's blog hop at Papertrey Ink offered up inspiration pictures with
non traditional colour combinations. I love these colours together:
Unusual card sizes are always fun so I took a slim envelope (
6.5" x 3.5") and then made a Soft Stone card base of 3.25" x 6.25". I made a Lovely Layers embellishment with Smokey Shadow, Ocean Tides and Aqua Mist layers and then impressed them with the Herringbone impression plate that I smeared with lots of
Versamark ink to make the debossing show up more. This is a great trick and works really well. You can even heat emboss with clear embossing powder after if you like.
Here's a close up of the dry embossing:
I used lots of
foam dots
to add dimension and popped up the layers, adding a little diamond
bling. Finally, I stamped the sentiment (selectively inked) with Fresh!
inks Slate and Steel Blue.
I stamped the Herringbone background stamp and another sentiment onto the envelope for some coordination.
Supplies:
Paper: PTI Soft Stone, Smokey Shadow, Ocean Tides, Aqua Mist
Stamps: PTI Think Big
Ink: Fresh! Steel Blue, Slate;
Versamark
Misc:
foam dots, diamond rhinestone, PTI Herringbone impression plate

cara the lovely layers is perfect!
You did this stamp set proud. Wonderful results! Thanks for show and tell!
Cara, I love the flower embossed like that! Beautiful card.
I've resisted the Lovely Layers, but then I see this - I love the embossing!
You've brought this to a whole new level!! I love that you embossed the die cuts -- and that each layer goes a different way...gorgeous!
Beautiful card.
Beautiful!!!
This totally looks like something you'd find in a boutique. Embossing the layers is the perfect touch (yep, pretty sure I am needing that one), and I love the size!!
gorgeous card, love your use of the herringbone impression plate!
