hello!
This card I'm showing you today is one I made for
my Aunt Marilyn. Aunt Marilyn is my Mom's best friend.
They have been friends for well over 80 yrs.
Aunt Marilyn just turned 94 and I wanted to make a card for her.
She loves cats and this is perfect for her.
If you don't know Jennifer McGuire, you need to go to her
blog and check out her videos. She is amazing and knows more
techniques than anyone I've ever seen.
I learned this technique from her blog.
I believe she calls it "double embossing"
I used a piece of black card stock, covered it with
VersaMark Ink then embossed it with clear embossing
powder. Next I stamped the cat
in VersaMark and embossed it
with silver embossing powder, the same with the hello.
When the second embossing is done over that clear embossing,
the silver kind of sinks into the clear and creates a very cool look.
It doesn't look or feel like 2 layers.
For the inside of the card, I used a set of individual
tiny letter stamps to stamp
"peeking in to say'
and "Happy Birthday"
from Stamp On It
I wanted the sentiment to pop so I matted it onto
black card stock.
I know my Aunt will love this card that was
made especially for her.
I'm glad you stopped by today.
If you don't already visit
pop over and watch her videos,
she's really quite amazing.
Come again soon,
Until then I hope you'll
try something new!
