What kind of cards do you make most?
I think I do a lot of birthdays and friendship themed cards. Today, I have a card which looks simple but took some effort to put together. The card was inspired by the class Impressive Heat Embossing.
The Altenew products I used are:

| Cross Stitch Flower Stamp |
Here's my card
I was inspired by the multi-coloured embossing powder card. For my card, instead of using different embossing powders, I decided to use clear embossing with coloured inkpads. The Altenew inkpads I used are Evergreen, Forest Glades, Velvet, Crimson, Rouge and Blush.
First I die-cut the flower using white cardstock. Next I stamped a layer of the cross stitch flower with coloured inkpad, then stamped it again with Versamark. Then I poured clear embossing powder on the stamped section and heat embossed it. I repeated this process for each of the layers.
The tiny butterfly was stamped and heat embossed the same way on another piece of cardstock and cut it out. I thought it would be nice to have some dimension for the butterfly and I adhered it to the cross stitch flower piece with foam adhesive.
To finish off the card, the sentiment was stamped and white heat embossed on a thin strip of black cardstock. I snipped the ends of the sentiment piece and adhered it to the card with foam adhesive.
I hope you like the card.
Thanks for stopping by.
