Happy First Day of Spring!
For my Serendipity card click below
Heather showed us this fun background technique!
This is NOT white embossed it is clear on white
cardstock. The background ink resist
the clear embossing. I sure had fun with this one.
Thanks Heather!
Sorry I know a lot of post for me in one day. I kinda like how this card turned out. I clear embossed, using Papertrey Inks Fancy Flourishes ,then rubbed fine linen ink and kraft on white. The sentiment is from Delightful Dahlia Stamp Set, The sentiment would not fit on the Papertrey Ink - Tremendous Tags Die so I only inked up the first part of the stamp then cleaned it up and only inked the last part so it would fit. I like the way it turned out.
All papers are from Papertrey Ink.
I hope you are blessed with a wonderful spring day!
I love the colours on this pretty card Marybeth and I agree that this technique is such fun. I just made a a background using it for the Pattern Play class.
ReplyDeleteI can see I am behind, Marybeth. This is such a beautiful mother's day card. I cannot believe that you got such a stunning color just with inking. I need to see that video, of course. Congratulations for your shout on the WM blog this morning.
ReplyDeleteMarybeth your card is just gorgeous! Rosie Posie gets me every single time and your background turned out just fabulous. Love everything about this.
ReplyDeleteHi Marybeth!
ReplyDeleteYou achieved the most beautiful subtle background! As always, a perfect card!
And yes, I was minutes away last week! You certainly had the best weather. Congrats on your shout out,
well earned!
Very pretty card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Marybeth! I love how you used Fancy Flourishes to make your background.
ReplyDeleteSQUEALLLLLL!!!!! Marybeth this just makes me HAPPY! I love the teeny bit of pink gingham peeking out along your edges and the white flourishes on kraft are amazing. Your tag is just the sweetest accent. I'm swooning over this one my friend. Between you and Ally I will end up with this flourish set for sure;)
ReplyDeleteMarybeth - you just make the prettiest cards :-) and this is no exception. Love it. And I thought I'd escaped the Rosie Posie but it's reared its beautiful head again and I think I must have it now! LOL!Rosie Posie and Mother's Day - they are meant to be
ReplyDeleteLovely card Marybeth!! The swirls in the background are so stylish!
ReplyDeleteMarybeth I just had to return after scrolling thru a number of your most recent posts (I've been so busy I haven't visited lately- i wont make that mistake again LOL) - and to say THANK YOU - you posted a First Communion card that is gorgeous and I didnt know if you'd see a comment there - I have been searching for forever for a nice First Communion/Confirmation set and was thrilled to see your card (with links to said stamps!) I've got a million nieces and nephews who are all receiving First Holy Communion and being confirmed and now I can finally make them cards! Thank you dear!
ReplyDeletebeautiful background you have created!
ReplyDeleteI love the way it turned out too Marybeth!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing...
and I was really wondering why you were fibbing about it not being white on kraft...
it looks it...
but now I totally understand and that background is gorgeous!!
The whole card is! :)
Gorgeous card. Love the embossing with the background. Those flourishes are perfect.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful technique and a beautiful card! I love the kraft background!
ReplyDeleteSuper card. Love the look you got with the flourishes on Kraft. The flower and sentiment really really stand out. Really lovely...
ReplyDeleteWOW, this is SO pretty!!! I love your background!! It also makes me so excited because I finally broke down and bought fancy flourishes.
ReplyDeleteThe pink and green are stunning against the soft neutral background - love the way the background looks like it was white embossed.
ReplyDeleteWow, love everything about this! I haven't seen the video and would never have known you started with white cardstock. The flourishes make a great background and I love the pink and that sweet tag!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this card! The Fancy flourish and that FAB flower with the pink checked paper is divine!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Marybeth! I hope to try this soon! Your card turned out so lovely!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful card...love it! :0)
ReplyDeleteWow, you totally had me fooled! I thought the flourishes were embossed in white onto a different color of cardstock - but I love the result you achieved! Love the Rosie Posie bloom and the lovely adapted sentiment on the tag. Beautifully done. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your background, Marybeth! Love how you made your sentiment work for you too ... it's beautiful on that tag.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteRosie Posie, Fancy Flourishes and white on Kraft are such a winning combination, Marybeth! Your card is stunning!
