To You, From Me & Challenge Winner
Hello, thanks for joining us today. Our featured card includes this week’s challenge theme technique; wet embossing. (See yesterday’s post for details.) I used a wonderful transparent set, “To You” which includes large florals and elegant greetings;
I stamped just the top portion of the large bouquet image onto the bottom of my card panel in Versamark then embossed in white. I stamped the large flower onto Penny Black coordinating cardstock, also in Versamark and embossed in white. I trimmed the flower from the darker cardstock and then just the small portion of the flower again from a lighter shade. I nested them together and popped them onto my card panel with foam tape.
I added some gemstones them stamped and matted my greeting. TIP: When wet embossing, rub a dryer sheet over your cardstock before you stamp – the powder will stick only to the ink.
The vibrant orange you see if from our Mix & Match “Summer Sun” trio of sunset oranges. If you’d like to win this pack of Penny Black cardstock along with a few more, just leave a comment on this post. We’re giving away cardstock every day this week. Winners will be announced in Monday’s post.

Thanks for the dryer sheet tip, I tend to not pull out my embossing powder and heat gun that often. I forget how beautiful cards look if you do that last step.

Penny Black stamps that I own:)
How exciting! I just ordered this stamp set. It would be wonderful to win this cardstock to use with it.
Win or not, thanks for the beautiful idea.

Well done Yulis. Love this sample of wet embossing too – the bouquet used for the background is brilliant & I love the layering of the flower too. I’ve had this set on my wish list ever since I first saw it – it was the butterfly that had me hooked & that large single flower with so many crafting possibilities.

Awesome Card. The colors are great. Thanks for sharing.
The ‘To You’ set is beautiful! Very pretty card.
Beautiful card. I haven’t tried the Penny Black cardstock yet but the colors are fantastic.
Wonderful colours, beautiful cards. I often forget how striking stamping & embossing in white looks, especially on these gorgeous blues & yellows. TFS 😉
Great use of the large bouquet stamp for the background. Love the colors of cardstock you used. Yummy!

gorgeous card. Not colours I would ordinary use on a card. But i do like it. May be using more of orange on my cards in the future.
Regarding the dryer sheet – yes a new, unused dryer sheet rubbed over the cardstock works like a charm in keep the embossing powder only on the ink. 🙂
Love the card. I need to start using more vibrant colors!
What an adorable card – so very creative and love these colors. Want these papers!!! Thanks, Hugs to all, Sharon :o)
I like that stamp set! I love the card you made with it. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Great colours on this card. It looks soo sunny!
Have never been a fan of orange and blue, but this is quite stunning! Must be the perfectly combined cardstock colors, at least in part. Thanks for the chance to have some of my own!
OOOOooh! I”d love to win some of the vibrant orange papers! Thanks for the chance…..
Congrats to Yulis! Gotta love those Hedgies.
I love the way you did the embossing on the bottom of the card with only the top portion of the flowers – you inspire me with your cards – thanks for sharing. Thanks also for the great paper give-a-ways, can never have to many papers choices.
