A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Heat Embossed Cardinal

Squeaking in under the wire for the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown "Heat Embossing" challenge!


I used an older Inkadinkado stamp that works really well for solid heat embossing.


I stamped with Versamark and then heat embossed with a mix of copper and sparkly gold embossing powders.  I fussy cut the image.

I had a piece of copper sprayed cs in my UFO box so stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on it and trimmed it down into a square for the background.

I taped the fussy cut image onto it, and added a border of copper glitter cs.

Now it's finished I'm wondering if it is too monotone.  What do you think?





Supplies:
Stamps - Inkadinkado bird / ornament, PTI sentiment
Ink - Versamark
Paper - white cs, copper glitter cs
Size - 4.75" square
Accessories - copper spray, a mix of copper and sparkly gold embossing powder

    I love the sparkle and bling on this - and for me the simple colour palatte balances that nicely. Thanka for joining in wiht us at the 52CCT this week.
