Hi All....
Here is my post that is "live" today
at Classy Cards 'n Such.....
go take a peek!!

Hello Classy Friends, 

Diane here with you today, and do I ever have something pretty to show you!

I remembered a technique I did a year or so ago

where you stamp an image on Heavy Weight Vellum Card Stock

using Versamark ink then emboss with a White Fine Detail Embossing Powder.

Once you have heat set your embossing powder, then you can start coloring

with a few shades of ink, starting with your lightest shade and adding darker

for a contrast.  The color is applied with a Q-tip....wiping your image with a paper towel

as you color (this step just takes the ink off the embossing only.)

The image I chose is a new "in store" stamp by Stacey Stamps called "Roses"

I used only two colors of inks on my image, as I wanted a soft look.

The sentiment is one I love, being a gardener myself.

It is a B-line Designs stamp called "My Garden of Flowers"

I finished off my card with a pretty sheer bow and a gorgeous Heart Ribbon Slide

and added a few Silver Rhinestones at the bottom!!

I hope you will give this technique a try as it is so fun.  Be sure to sign up for the
