Canada Inks Up! October Blog Hop – Silver, Purple and Black

It’s time for another Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop. We are a group of Canadian Demonstrators that love to share the projects we make and hope you get some ideas and tips from what we share. This month’s Blog Hop is Silver, Purple and Black. My first thought was a Halloween card but I decided to make a card using the Fresh Cut Flowers stamps set and use the Heat Embossing technique on Vellum.

Here are the cutting instructions and details for my card:

1. Card base is Basic Black card stock cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored and folded at 4 1/4″
2. Layer 1 is Highland Heather card stock cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″
3. Emboss the Highland Heather layer with the Timeworn 3D Embossing folder and adhere directly to the black card base with liquid glue
4. Cut a piece of Vellum card stock 3 1/4″ x 4 3/8″
5. Using Versamark, stamp an image from the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set and heat emboss with Silver Embossing Powder
6. Turn the vellum over and color the back of the image with Stampin Blends. I used Dark Highland Heather and Dark Old Olive. For the colors to show from the front of the vellum you may need to use darker colors
7. Adhere the vellum to the card with glue dots. Place the glue dots on places they will not be seen. Use a sponge and lightly sponge some liquid glue on the corners of the vellum, by lightly sponging the glue it will not be seen on the vellum
8. Stamp a sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Versamark and heat emboss with silver embossing powder
9. Attack the sentiment to the card with dimensionals
10. Tie a small bow using the Silver Simply Elegant Trim and attach with a glue dot
11. Place some Basic Rhinestones on the card for some bling
