I decided to flip the sketch on its side and came up with this. In place of a sentiment, I added a butterfly – so I can use this for any occasion. The technique I used is called trapped embossed resist. I stamped and clear heat embossed Fanciful Flowers<\/a> onto some patterned paper from My Mind’s Eye. (Yes you read that right, I used some patterned paper!) I then went over the stamped images with distress inks – the clear embossed flowers resisted the ink, trapping the patterned paper behind the clear embossing. It was fun to get all “technique-y!” I am entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Presents a Patterned Paper Challenge<\/a> over at Lilypad cards<\/a>.<\/p>\n And while I was at it, I decided to make a blue one as well. The patterned paper didn’t show through as well, but it is there – if you squint!!<\/p>\n Supplies:<\/em><\/p>\n Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps Fanciful Flowers stamp set<\/a><\/em> Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out what the rest of the DT have created.
