Same Technique Different Look

Good Morning

Today I want to share two cards that have the same techniques

 but look so different.

Each card is cut 5.25" x 10.5" from smooth white cardstock,

scored at 5.25" on the long edge and folded to create 5.25" cards.

I also cut 2 panels 5" square that will be attached to the front of the card.

I have stamped and heat embossed Woodware's Mini Scented Bloom stamp

 randomly on the background of the two 5" square panels

using my antistatic powder pack and Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad.

I heat embossed one of the panels using White Embossing Powder 

and the other with Gold Embossing Powder

Using the same stamp I also heat embossed two of the flowers

 and a couple of the foliage stems from Woodware's Countryside Stems

with white embossing powder on white cardstock and

two of the flowers and four leaves from Heartfelt Creations 

Botanical Rose stamp set with gold embossing powder on velum.

All of these were then fussy cut to use to embellish the fronts of my cards.

To colour the panel that had the white embossed flowers I used a

 blending tool and a domed applicator to blend Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin and 

Candied Apple Distress Inks across the panel.

To colour the flowers for this card I used a water brush to shade with 

Mustard Seed and Carved Pumpkin Distress Inks.

The foliage was coloured with Cracked Pistachio and 

Twisted Citron Distress Inks in the same way.

The bottom flower was attached to a chipboard scrap before it was added to the panel

The sentiments for both cards were stamped using 

LDRS Happy Birthday Stack stamp set and 

heat embossed with Black Embossing Powder.

I used the matching Sentiment Stack die to cut the sentiments.

By stamping and die cutting this set you get 11 sentiments that you can keep

 on hand for when you are looking for a sentiment on future cards.

The decorated panel was then attached to the cardbase using glue.

I have used the same ink blending technique on the second card.

using Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink.

I used glue behind the gold embossing on the velum flowers and leaves 

to attach them to the panel.

The sentiment was attached to a scrap of chipboard before it was added to the card panel.

The panel was then attached to the cardbase using glue.
