Hope you are having a great week. Sharing two quick cards today.
First card uses Fancy That which I haven't been able to put away since PTI Anniversary challenges last week. Love this set. I heat embossed the medallion in white on white yardstick and then masked a triangle around the medallion image. I blended Tropical Teal onto the medallion concentrating the ink in the center and working my way lighter on the outside. Sentiment from Keep It Simple series.
One layer card with blending for the One Layer Simplicity challenge:You Blend this month and I stuck to only one bold color for this week's CASology cue card MONOCHROME.
Second card is for this week's Make It Monday challenge to use a cover plate as a stencil to use with embossing paste. I wanted to use a portion of the Mighty Oak cover plate. I colored white embossing paste with Simply Chartreuse reinker. I opted not to use the leaves as part of a tree as a thought a nice circle sentiment would fit nicely with the leaves. I punched a circle out of Summer Sunrise card stock and heat embossed a circular sentiment from Thank You Kindly in clear for a nice shine and tone-on-tone look. I mounted the panel on kraft card base after cutting it all down to a 4x4 square card.
I didn't have enough embossing paste colored so I was trying to stretch what I had which made for a less than smooth finish on the leaves. But once it dried I actually liked the texture it left behind. Makes for a really cool and unique background.
Thanks for stopping by!
Fun cards. I especially love your colored embossing paste.

ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are wonderful! I love the texture in the second card and the warm, spring colors too!
ReplyDeleteLove your CASology card so much. That blended focal point is just gorgeous. Thanks so much for playing along this week.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely Sherrie! Beautiful blending in your CASology card, and I do love your dimension and layout of your second card also! Thanks so much for joining us at CASology this week!

ReplyDeleteFabulous cards!! Love them both!
ReplyDeleteSherrie, both of your cards are wonderful. I like the simplicity of design and a bold green of your first card! It's so eye catching!
ReplyDeleteLovely!!! Love the colors!! Thanks for joining us at CASology!!!
ReplyDeleteSherrie, both cards are just lovely! Your OLS card has fabulous blending. I particularly like that the shading you did evokes a circle, while the design is a diamond...that creates a subtle interest and tension in the design that works so well! Thanks for joining us at the One-Layer Simplicity challenge...again!
