Australian demonstrator, Gail Ellis, is one of my favorite papercrafting artists. I'm in awe of her eye for color, texture and balance. So when I saw a few cards she created for the Demonstrator website, I decided to CASE (copy and share everything) one of them.
Her card was a 4" x 4" card, and I changed up a few things, but basically this is a Gail Ellis card (my apologies to Gail, as mine is nowhere near as perfect!).
L.O.V.E.!
This was our "technique" card, as it contains an emboss-resist image and uses Blending Brushes.
We started with two leaf-image stamps from Forever Fern, stamped in Versamark and heat-embossed with White Embossing Powder.
Using Blending Brushes, we added Tahitian Tide, Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie inks. Then we used a Kleenex to rub off any ink on the white images - the embossing "resists" the ink and stays white.
Tahitian Tide was cut with the Basic Borders dies to create an "arrow" pointing at the focal point. Adhered to Basic White, it was run through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine with one of the OnLine Exclusives Basics Embossing Folders.
Our greeting, from Very Best Occasions, was heat-embossed on a Pumpkin Pie banner.
Sweet Perfection! Thanks, Gail, for the inspiration! I love this card!
