Hello every one! I hope that your long weekend was fabulous. We had lots of rain and no plans but to relax a bit. For me that meant catching up on some photo edits and blog posts. Popping in for a quick share today of a sweet card for another granddaughter birthday.
Did you know that Jennifer and Kristina gave a new card class recently on Embossing folders? It was informative, and so fun to pull those folders out to play.
For this card, I used a 'diffuser' so that I could leave an area without embossing for my images. I've had it forever but never used it. The stamps are also new. These adorable bunnies are from Penny Black transparent set called "Cuteness."
After embossing the outer part of the panel, I stamped the focal point in the off-center circle and colored with Copics very simply. Then, I used masking to ink the embossed part, using light blended strokes. I was going for a pastel look but got a bit too heavy handed in the top left corner. I know my sweetie will not mind. She's two!
I loved using this technique and will try it again soon as it makes it easy to dress up a one layer card.
Thanks for visiting, have a great day!

Oooh! I like this much better than any of the examples in class!!! I don't have a diffuser, and wasn't much interested until I saw this! Love the ink blending and the darling rabbit--the sentiment is just as delightful as the rest of the card. Glad to discover we were both in the class. Many thanks for your kind comments on my blog. (The other "doggie" card is still waiting for its turn on the blog.)
So cute - love the colours too!
Thanks for playing at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge!
