This card took quite a lot of "drying" time and "patience"! The panel is created using the 'iron-off' embossing technique. I began with inking the panel with fossilised amber then stamped a few leaves with Versamark ink and heat embossed the images with clear embossing powder. I then inked the panel with carved pumpkin, stamp some leaves with Versamark ink before heat embossing with clear embossing powder. I continued this process a further three times - allowing the layers to dry before stamping and embossing. When finished I then ironed off the embossing to reveal the vibrancy of all the colours. I die cut the panel creating a frame and mounted the panel using fun foam to lift it from the frame. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with white on a small piece of vellum.
I used:
UNIKO: Beautiful Blooms I and Pure Florals Gerbera
STAMPlorations: Boxed Blooms and Bold Sentiments
Distress Inks - Carved Pumpkin, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Candied Apple and Fired Brick
WOW Clear and White Embossing Powder
