Layered Emboss Resist

Wanted to share a CAS card again with a technique which happened to learn yesterday...Layered Emboss Resist.

Hope this lovely butterfly speaks all technique :) Love this butterfly stamp set from IBS.

Started to stamp in wild honey on a White CS and stamped butterfly in Versamark and embossed with clear EP. And before which i stamped the sentiment in Rangers Black Archival ink.

Just distressed with rich cocoa momento ink around the butterfly emerge from the background. Just loved the way the stamped design peeping through the butterfly and so the sentiment too :) Attached a scalloped bordered scrap from kraft CS on one edge and mounted on to white CS.

Hope you all like my amateurish attempts :) Thanks all for stopping by and leaving lovely comments :)

White on White card :)

This time its a monochromatic card...and its a WOW card again..Earlier cards you can see here and here.
This card is a combination of dies, border punch and embossing.
Diwali sweets and savories preparation is well started yesterday at my home and just squeezed my time to do this card as a bit relief from my hand ache...Ya crafting is a therapy too :)

Thinking of my Sweet granny at this moment as she used to do so many varieties of sweets and savories for Diwali and she used to start 4-5 days before Diwali and inbetween there will be lot of neighbour friends asking for recipes, trial versions of those recipes will be going on at my home...She never complained of handache at all...She was an expert cook :) Really miss u dear ma...

Coming to my card

White CS is embossed using spots embossing folder and on it used a negative of 2nd large Timeless rectangle Spellbinder die as frame. To it added the tessatina border as trellis. White doily is added and mounted this on top of the base white CS whose one end is punched using MS double arches.

A white satin ribbon is pleated and a bow is added on the middle of pleats and its hanging over the edge with the punched border. Frame Venetian panel taken whose edges are embossed using Zing clear EP using heat gun and on to it added the sentiment.

Tropical flourish, mum bloom and few small flowers are added with a butterfly at a corner. Rhinestone, few pearls are as final touch.

Hope you like it.

Wishing all my visitors, readers and fellow blogger pals, a very happy and wonderful Diwali. Have a fantastic festival of lights :)
