Happy Saturday! Yes, it's me again!!! My final post of the week! I think I'm gonna go have a drink now! LOL. It's been super fun all week sharing cards from lots of my favorite companies and interacting here with all of you. THANK YOU for making it a great week for me!! You guys are the very best. Thanks for the awesome comments and for the blog love. I feel it. I totally do. I hope you have a great weekend!
This is my final post introducing and featuring the new May 2017 release from Papertrey Ink. Today's feature is the latest edition in the Year of Psalms Collection. This is a gorgeous stamp and as usual I love the font combinations. I kept the card focused on the sentiment by framing it with the beautiful Ivy and Bloom Die. The words are heat embossed in gold onto a sheet of vellum and then overlayed on a white card base. Classic stamping. A few sequins were added at the end to give just a little pop of color on that pretty rich green.
Heat embossing on vellum can be kind of tricky! The vellum is basically plastic, so it can melt from the heat of the heat tool. When you emboss on vellum make sure to pre-heat your heat tool and then use it in quick strokes, or passes over the powder. As soon as it starts melting move the heat tool! I glued the vellum piece to the card base by using clear glue underneath the words so you can't see it.
That's it for the week! Let's see what trouble I can cook up for next week! XOXO
SUPPLIES FOR TODAY!
