Here is the sketch from CPS.If you notice, I made a mistake on the sketch. I had looked at the pattern early in the week, and when I made the card last night I did it from memory. My memory must be slipping, I put the 2 small squares on the left.
I tried out some embossing powders for the flowers on this card. I have never been much into embossing, just because I haven't figured out how to get all the loose powder off. I will say that I had better luck with removing it this time. I used a small paint brush. If you know any tips let me know-

ReplyDeletei know i've been absent from posting comments for a while, but i'm back~ and...i've nominated your blog for the award spoken of on my blog. have a great weekend!
I love this card, what a great effect. Some craft stores sell a little fabric bag that you tap your paper with before you stamp/emboss. That really helps. I also you little brushes to clean up the areas. I find that the dollar store makeup brushes have the perfect range in sizes for this
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely! I love that purple!
ReplyDeleteRub your paper with a dryer sheet before. Then the powder should only stick to the ink.
I got the brown liquid applique from allthatscraps.com. It comes in a few other colors too, like red, pink, yellow, blue, black and green. At Joanns in the puffy paint section, they usually have a few different colors of liquid applique too.
Wow, all your cards are amazing! You are definitely going on by Rooms with a View list! BR-T
