Heat Embossing Demo #3

Can you see a theme with this week's posts? :) Here is card number #3 from the heat embossing demo.

This one is pretty simple but looks great and would be great for those usually difficult "man cards".

I began with a piece of plain white cardstock. I embossed the bikes using my Versamark ink pad and Ranger's Seafoam white embossing powder.

Once the embossing powder was cool. I used 3 finger daubers (one for each color) and applied 3 colors of Ranger's Distress ink for an interesting background. The white embossing powder resisted the ink so the bikes really popped after the ink was applied.

I finished the card with a Happy Birthday sentiment stamped on a yellow circle. I added some scraps of ribbon that were too short to tie bows with but I had kept anyway! I cut a scalloped border in yellow at the bottom of the card using some Fiskar's "wiggly" scissors. I have a bunch of these but rarely use them so I gave myself some extra credit for using a tool I have but don't often use. :).

Thanks for stopping by.
