Happy new year everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Santa was good to you. For my first blog post of the year, I’m excited to be guest designing (GD) at Addicted to CAS (ATCAS) for their challenge #188 - Emboss.
I needed a belated birthday card for a friend. The BB Holiday Penguins stamp set from My Favorite Things (MFT) was sitting out on my desk, so I decided to stretch it to create this.
The penguin was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It cardstock and coloured in with Copic Sketch markers (BG10, BG13, BG49, YR00, YR16, E08, C00, C1, C3, C9), then die cut out with the coordinating die.
The MFT Impact letters were die cut from scraps of X-Press It cardstock and ombre coloured with the same BG markers listed above. Inked them with VersaMark and heat embossed them with clear glitter embossing powder for lots of sparkle. The sentiment from MFT Bitty Birthday Wishes was white heat embossed on a black cardstock strip. Adhered an A2 stitched Bristol panel from my stash onto a white card base and assembled the card to finish.
Check out the challenge blog post HERE for more inspirations from the design team, then join in the fun! Before I go I want to thank Kylie and the ATCAS team for the GD opportunity. Cheers to a better 2021 (it shouldn’t be too hard 😆). Have a wonderful weekend.
