This is a card I made a few weeks back for a challenge on the Hero Arts blog but forgot to post on here - the challenge was to make a card using a technique that was featured on the Hero blog. I chose an emboss resist technique using acrylic paint daubers as featured by the wonderful Jennifer McGuire.
Recipe -
Stamps - Dots and Flowers (Hero)/Butterfly (Hero)
Ink - Red (Colorbox chalk)/Versamark/Distress Ink
Card -Kraft/Vintage Cream/October Afternoon DP Other - Clear e.p/sewing machine/linen thread/corner rounder punch/pearls/Snow White Acrylic Paint Dauber (Ranger)
I stamped the background with Versamark, embossed with clear embossing powder then sponged white acrylic paint over the top, wiping it off to create this background - I love this effect, and think it looks great on the kraft. Must use this technique more often!
Over on A Passion for Papertrey I just posted this card (along with all the details):
It was near impossible to take a good photo of this card because it was stamped with silver metallic ink - it was a commission for a Diamond Anniversary card for a friend. That's 60 years of marriage - wowzers!!! I chose Papertrey's Damask Design set because I thought the elegance of the set fitted the occasion.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend! Oh and don't forget to put your clocks back - time for me to go into hibernation lol!

Hey Hun! Loving that embossed resist technique on Kraft! Looks fab! Man, I wish I had a backlog of beautiful cards that I'd forgotten to upload onto my blog LOL!
Well it'd be rude not to use Damask Designs for an anniversary card, right? It looks so elegant and classic! Fab for any anniversary but super special for a 60th - wowzers, I thought 9 years was a long haul...;D
Love,
