Embossed Resist Christmas Card

Another Embossed Resist Technique this time for a Christmas Card.  I started with a panel of watercolor paper and embossed various snowflakes as a background.  I then watercolored the panel using red and green distress inks.  Once the inks dried I used a hot iron to remove the shine from the embossed snowflakes.  I then used scalloped dies from Pretty Pink Posh and placed two of the cut outs onto silver card stock.  Added some PPP sequins and below is the finished card.

Altenew Academy Background Stamping

I am trying to mix it up a little by taking more classes from different venders.  Todays card was created with a technique learned in Altenew Academy; flower stamped background.  The same flower image is stamped using a light ink on upper part of stamp and darker ink on the bottom.  It adds dimension and creates shadows.  Once the flowers were stamped, leaves were added using the same light/dark ink application.  All that was left to do was add the "happy birthday sentiment," and some Pretty Pink Posh sequins.  Overall I was happy with the results and can't wait to send it to the next person on my birthday list.  Thanks for stopping.  All comments are welcome and appreciated.
