I have two creations I want to share with you today! First up, this one:
For this card, I first stamp the flowers onto the card stock with versamark ink and let it dry. Decided I wanted a bit more pop so then stamped and using white embossing powder and outlines those ones with a very light grey copic marker W1). I also took some of the leaves from this kit and stamped them onto vellum and heat embossed those with white too. I like how the edges did for this, that you cant really see the cut edge after cutting out with the die because its vellum. Cut a curve with a Spellbinders border die and added a piece of white doily on the back side to get this look on the bottom left edge. All the other pretty obvious what I did...And now for my 2nd card...super quick distressed one! :D

And since I had my embossing stuff out...I decided to emboss this flower too. Clear embossing used on this one, then took a stamp pad (innocent pink) and stamped over the flower, which I did until I had a look I wanted then took a cloth and buffed off the flower. Distressed the edges on this one and layered and all done!
