Did I show you this one yet? This is the card I designed to swap with other Stampin up demonstrators at convention in Germany last November.
I love all the swapping of ideas, there is so much inspiration to be gained and so many extremely talented crafters out there.
My card makes use of the Clockworks stamp set, it is stamped very randomly in a collage style. I stuck to a simple colour pallette of Soft suede, early espresso and vanilla. I also used the new smooch spritz over the top which gave a lovely shimmery effect.
This card is CAS'ed from my convention roomie Elaine Harding, you can see her blog here, I received it in a swap at a team training event earlier this year, it uses a technique called faux tearing which makes use of some copier paper and a sponge dauber. The stamp set is Open Sea and is stamped in Soft Suede ink; the anchor image is punched using the tag punch and attached to the card with linen thread.
This new embossing folder is great, such a deep, crisp impression and so effective. I used it on this card which would be a great card for the men in our lives. The squares were punched from designer series paper and opposite corners rounded using another punch. The bottom right square has a greeting stamped on it and is then raised on 3d foam.
