| My inked and embossed (wet and dry) C6 card |
Materials used:
- White, 250gsm, C6 card and matching envelope
- Card in white and navy
- Snippets of card in white and navy
- Using a brayer I applied Distress Inks in: broken china, stormy sky, salty ocean
- I ran the inked panel through my Big Shot inside a Sizzix "circles" embossing folder
- Using Distress Ink blueprint sketch I dragged the pad over the "raised" section
- Having decided that it needed something else, once the blue ink was dry I lightly dragged my Versamark embossing ink over the raised section before sprinkling (and shaking off the excess) silver embossing powder which I then heat set - getting the desired effect of a patchy (kind of grungey) embossed panel and giving more interest
- TCP sentiment (from S.5845.CL) stamped using Versafine Clair twilight ink
- Elsewhere on the card I used the Tim Holtz image that matched the embossing folder (CSS30201) and Memento gray flannel ink, to co-ordinate my design

I love the shades of blue and the added silver embossing Kathy, and such a pretty embossing folder, and the finish with the sentiment strip across the card looks wonderful. x
It's a great combination of the two kinds of embossing. It look really awesome! Thank you so much for joining us at the Seize the Birthday challenge!
Very pretty card. Love the background you created with all those blue colors. Thanks for playing along with us at PIP Challenges.

I love how this transpired into such a lovely card and I enjoyed reading your process. One of these days really soon I need to get messy and make some backgrounds. Thanks for the inspiration and for joining us at Seize the Birthday.
