CAS-ual Make It Monday #101: Layered Embossing

I've been playing around with Heather Nichol's challenge to layer embossed images in the Make it Monday challenge from Papertrey Ink - you can check out her tutorial here.

I tried a few different stamp sets, but somehow came back to the same Framed Out #11 stamp set that Heather used, although the details of the large heart were lost with the gold glitter embossing.



I alternated the white and gold embossed hearts, finishing with a small open heart from the With All My Heart stamp set.





I wasn't loving the image when I was done stamping and embossing - the Hibiscus Burst cardstock seemed to overwhelm everything. I  fussy cut around the edge of the hearts - questioning my sanity halfway through - and ended up very happy with the final card.

I ended up creating a 7 x 3.5" card to fit the image, so am also linking the card to CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #86.

CFC86: Create a CAS card that has one long side and one short side.
3 x 6, 4 x 8, etc. No standard A2's for this week.



Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie

    This is so pretty. I love the gold with the pink. Your embossing looks great. I was fiddling around with this technique earlier, and it's harder than it looks to get crisp images like you did.

    Very cute card. I love the layered hearts and who you used the gold heart in the center.

    I love how it pops right off the white card! What a super cool technique.

    Love how this one turned out too! You did well with the challenge. I was afraid to make a mess with the double embossing. The glitter is so fun!

    And, I have to thank you so much for all the incredibly kind comments you've left. Thanks, friend!
