Sketch Saturday #776 with the Optional Twist to Add an Extra Layer

Hi Crafty Friends,
Here's our next Sketch Saturday challenge for May.Challenge #776 has the Optional Twist of adding an extra layer.

I've used my favorite color combination with this card :).

The patterned paper is from an old Crafter's Companion kit.  I've used shape dies from Jaded Blossom along with an oldie but goodie Cuttlebug Dotted Swiss embossing folder and Altenew's Deck Planks 3D embossing folder.  I think the flower is an older Spellbinders die set.  This was one of those cards that came together by digging through my product stash of dies, folders, and papers.

Here's the challenge sketch.

I can't wait to see your interpretation.

Pearly Sparkles Challenge August ~ Floral

Hi Crafty Friends,
We have a new challenge at Pearly Sparkles.
This month we want you to share your FLORAL creations.
I watched a YouTube video in which Gina K shared a technique using white ink and double stamping which gives a faux embossed appearance so I wanted to give it a try.
Here's the result!

The first impression was stamped using Altenew Mocha.  Then I slightly offset my cardstock and restamped using white pigment ink.  I love the subtlety of the stamped image and it does look as though it's an embossed image.  Give it a try.

The background was made using a Spellbinders 3D embossing folder and the mats were cut using Jaded Blossom rectangle dies.

Hope you'll play along with us.
