Hey there!! Saturday has rolled around, again, and that means a brand new challenge over at
Less is More. This week Chrissie and Mandi have challenged us to get a little inky and use either use our inks in a way we have never tried before or to use a favorite technique. Oh and add to that the fact that the card needs to be one layer!! Yikes!!! I opted to use a favorite technique... emboss/resist. Usually when I do emboss/resist I clear emboss the image and then apply the distress inks, but for this card I decided to emboss the image using black embossing powder and then apply the ink. This card is a stripped down version of a card I did earlier in the week using the same technique. You can see that card
here. Once, again, I used the Flourishes Ferns & Fiddles set.
I decided to do a bit of masking using a Spellbinders die. I cut a piece of cardstock the same size as my card front and then using the Spellbinders die cut out the rectangle. This piece was taped to the card and the image was stamped using the watermark ink. I removed the mask, applied the embossing powder and heat set it. The mask was then reattached and the inks applied. Finished off the card with a few gems and the sentiment.
Thanks for taking a peek.... now go get inky!!
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white; Inks: Ranger Scattered Straw, Aged Mahogany & Dusty Concord, VersaMark Watermark ink; PTI True Black; Stamps: Flourishes Ferns & Fiddles; Gems: Hero Arts; Die: Spellbinders rectangle die; Embossing Powder: Filigree Black

Perfectly centered and awesome color usage!
Beautiful Rosie. I liked your first one this one is just as good, I am going to give this Challenge a go as I never do one layer cards, and I think it is good to extend oneself creatively to see how it pans out...
