365 Cards -“Elegant Ephemera"
I am a Guest Designer today for Pamela over at 365 Cards!
OK, this was waaaaaaaaaay out of my normal box, I don't make many elegant cards and hardly anything with ephemera. As a matter of fact, if it hadn't been for Susan over at Genuinely Jane Studios tucking in a few stamp ephemera into my goodie box, I wouldn't have had anything to use at all.
So it took me 2 attempts to come up with something I hope that meets this challenge.
( And I'm not sharing the first try either, lol )
I adhered the stamp onto a chipboard heart and then added a layer of tissue paper over it to hopefully diffuse the edges of the stamp a bit.

I did have fun with the heat embossing and got an unusual reaction from stamping with white ink and using clear embossing powder, it turned it peach!! ( The border along the left side and the top and bottom sentiment )Then I also stamped with white ink and white embossing powder to bring out one of the sentiments.

This is beautiful, and I love how you did the stamping with the different colors!
Such a pretty card Sandee and I love your stamping on it...great colours and the sentiment is so lovely! Carole Z X
Ah, this is lovely. Don't know why you said elegant is out of your comfort zone. This is a wonderful card, and more in line with 'my' comfort zone. Thanks for interesting bit about the white ink, white EP...you achieved a beautiful look with it. Loved your stamped heart ...great card. TFS
