So Very Grateful in Spring Subtles

by Joanne James14. May 2014 11:00

I'm having a love affair with my heat gun this week as this is my second card that features heat embossing and I've another cued up for tomorrow too! Today's card is my entry for this week's challenge over at The Paper Players where Sandy has chosen some lovely subtle spring colours to work with; I've also used this week's layout over at Retrosketches as the basis for my card:

I thought that The Paper Players colours were just asking to be used on a floral card - this is what I came up with:

I stamped the corner flower image twice in Versamark onto my vellum panel then heat embossed in white and coloured the reverse of the images with my So Saffron, Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzazz markers. I then adhered this to a panel of Calypso Coral and heat embossed my 'thank you' sentiment in white onto a panel of So Saffron and placed this across the middle on dimensionals.

This card came together quite quickly and I love the subtle effect of the colouring behind the vellum.

That's all from me today - I have to go and get on with my swaps in readiness for Stampin' Up!'s UK regional training event in Telford on Saturday, in order to be finished in time to go and watch Rebecca's first rounders match of the season later on this afternoon!

Back tomorrow with another card; until then, happy stampin'!

Ah, one of my favorite techniques, and so, so pretty with this floral image! This sketch seems to be very popular this week....several in the gallery already! You did a great job with the challenge colors! Thanks for sharing this with us this week at the Paper Players, Joanne!

Thanks LeAnne - the colours were just asking for some subtle spring florals and the sketch is definitely a 'keeper'!

Joanne, I love everything about this card! The colors really pop against the white embossed image. I also like the creative way you added the sentiment panel. So pretty! Thank you so much for joining us this week at the Paper Players!
