It's time for a new challenge at Inkspirational! We have a color challenge for you: use white/cream with blue. These are the colors of the flag of Finland and the national colours of my home country -many Finns love this combo! You may combine these with neutral colors and natural colors for skin and fur. My Inkspirational DT teamies have made stunning projects for your inspiration and I hope you'll check them out from the challenge blog. As always we have a guest designer too and this time it's Laura from LE-Designs. Laura made a stunning shaker card for you, don't miss it!
In my card I've used a medallion stamp from PTI. I heat embossed it with white powder on patterned paper (Papermania) and the result was so pretty I didn't want to cover it up with anything else. :) I added some turquoise rhinestones as accents and heat embossed a Finnish greeting (Congratulations). That's my card in all of it's simplicity! :)
Thanks for popping by and I hope to see you playing along at Inkspirational. Happy crafting!
Nonni, The details on the stamps are stunning when they are embossed/inked...beautiful card.

This is great Nonni! I love the idea of heat embossing over designer paper. That medallion is fantastic! Also, your mention of the blue being native to your countries flag made me google it to see the flag. =) Great card!

I love this Nonni, I have so forgotten about this stamp. I have it too and love it. This is some very good embossing and perfectly placed gems x
ReplyDeleteMost of us have used a white/cream background with blue images, but you've done it the other way round and it looks great. The embossed medallion is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to use a doily stamp like this! Beautiful card! Enjoy your sunday, Gerrina
