STAMPIN' UP! CORNER BOUQUET "THINKING OF YOU" CARD

The other day I shared a card, with a Corner Bouquet stamped image white-embossed on Basic Black card, and coloured with Stampin' Blends markers.  I decided to try this technique on Basic Gray card.  It worked nicely, but I did find Basic Gray card is a little less forgiving of the alcohol-based ink in the markers, ie. any "bleeding" over the edges of the white-embossed areas is a little obvious.

After stamping the floral image in Versamark ink on Basic Gray card, I heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.  Using various colours of Stampin' Blends markers, I then coloured over the top of the white embossed image.  The next step was to run this panel, inside the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder, through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine.

I have matted the Basic Gray card piece onto a piece of Purple Posy card.  I wanted to add ink to the edges of the purple panel, but we don't have a Purple Posy inkpad in our range.  Instead, I ran the brush tip of my Dark Purple Posy Stampin' Blends marker along the card edges.

The sentiment, from A Touch of Ink stamp set, has been stamped in Basic Gray ink (using my Stamparatus, inking and stamping four times to get a good impression), on a piece of Playing With Patterns Designer Series Paper.  I used a Tasteful Labels Die to cut around the sentiment, and adhered the decorative circle to a second piece the same shape, cut from Purple Posy card.

Tiny flowers made from Purple Posy card, punched out with the Confetti Flowers Border Punch, were added to the card.  Three of the flowers have silver Metallic Pearls as their centres.
