Cut it Up Challenge #291 ~ Friends and Family
I tried a new technique on this card, embossing on velum. I used a 3D embossing folder from Altenew.
I ink blended some fall colors on 80# smooth card stock and then added the velum over it. I lightly brushed some Altenew white pigment ink over the embossing to emphasize some of the design. The scalloped frame is from Jaded Blossom and the sentiment was created using a Betterpress letterpress plate. I cut the sentiment outline out three times and slightly offset each layer for some added detail.
A twine bow and some Spellbinders gold embellishments finished the card.
I hope you'll play along with us. Just follow the link above.

Cut it Up Challenge #290 ~ Layer it Up
I began by inking up a Ranger Water Color panel using Distress Inks. I added Archival Burgandy ink to my Betterpress plate to get the leaf images. After using the companion dies to cut out the leaves, I used water and a brush to add splatters and a little color release. Using the water color paper allows the Betterpress to give a deep stamped impression. I also used a Betterpress plate for the sentiment stamping and pressing on gold foil paper. It's been fun experimenting with different papers, inks, and other mediums to create some interesting results.
I hope you'll join in our challenge and show us your Layered Up project.
