one stamp two very different cards

I love card class.
Its a fab way to learn new techniques.
Try out new styles and new mediums.

I love this stamp the June took in,
it is beautiful!


And after several hours online searching

I FOUND IT!!!


We used the same stamp in two
very different ways.

Firstly we stamped it then watercoloured it,
then once it was dry we cut into sections.
Some did four pieces I did three.
Layered with with black card.
Then used low tack tap on the back
to hold in place uses twine to tie
together, applied double sided tape
on the back then removed low tack tape.
It looks really squint on this picture,
but looks ok in real life.
it is on green pearl card.
I have a sentiment to put down the
side but I want to add a name to it.


The next one is done using heat embossing.
The mount board heart is first covered with
versamark then silver embossing powder
and then using the heat gun it is melted.
you do this about three or four times,
then after inking up the stamp with
the versamark again & keeping it ready
we applied a coat of thick clear embossing
powder and stamped while hot.


The lines were embossed using the score board
thin strip of black card edged with silver pen
and a thin red ribbon was applied.

The black backing card had been stamped using
versamark so it had a watermark effect.


Two wee gems on the corners
add a touch of bling.

I am entering it for ABC this week
who want something metallic for M
I will use both these techniques again.
I forgot how much I like the
heat embossed stamping.
