Craft Your Passion #125 Embossing

Its almost the end of August and its time for another challenge at Craft Your Passion.  This week's theme is "Embossing" and this is what I came up with:

This time we got to choose a digital image from our sponsor Cardmadfairy.  Their images are really fun, and I loved this one called "All Dressed Up".  I started by colouring the image, and since I didn't want to cut it out this time, I instead masked the image and added some light brown ink with an ink blending tool.  I think this adds alot of depth to the panel.  As an afterthought I also added some glitter pen to her necklace.

I chose the card stock and coordinating patterns, embossing the top layer with my "Seeing Spots" embossing folder.  All pieces where inked with light brown, taking care to emphasize the spots on the embossed piece.  Once I adhered the main panel together I added some ribbon and adhered it to the card front.  The  image panel was foam taped over the ribbon, and I added a bow and some Prima flowers. I have so many elements the dry embossing can be hard to see in a picture but its there!

 

I heat embossed the sentiment with some black embossing powder and banner cut the piece.  I then added more light brown ink with my blending tool.  Once I foam taped this to the card front I thought I was done but I felt as though the card still needed something.  For this reason I added some random rhinestones over the front of the card.  

For the center of the card I stamped the second part of the sentiment on some inked cream card stock, matted it,  and adhered it with some corner rounded scraps.
