Hello Stampers,
Today I have a card using the Peaceful Moments bundle that consists of 10 lovely greeting stamps and 16 dies that will create beautiful poppies and backgrounds for your crafting pleasure.
I also used the gorgeous Stone 3-D Embossing folder for the background. This folder is part of a Sale-A-Bration bundle - Power of Hope - that you can get FREE with a $180 order. And yes I did use the back side of the folder as I wanted the outline ridges to stand out.
The card base is Thick A4 Whisper white and the background for the card is Highland Heather that has been embossed with Blackberry Bliss and Gold Embossing powder.
To achieve this look you randomly ink the inside back of the embossing folder (the side without the SU Logo) using Blackberry Bliss. Pass this through your embossing/cutting machine and then with a very light touch highlight the raised areas more with a sponge and Blackberry Bliss ink. Allow to dry while you cut out the poppy and leaf images.
In the detail shot you can see the leaves are made of vellum. I've textured these with an embossing folder also. The Highland Heather poppies have been sponged with Blackberry Bliss ink, and the outlines are Blackberry Bliss A4 card. The gold centres for the poppies are made from Gold Foil that has been swiped with Black Archival Ink. Stazon would give the same effect, but I cannot use Stazon.
There are lots of techniques in this card and you could make it in a simpler format, but I hope you've enjoyed seeing this interesting background. It would look awesome in other colours too.
