Inspired by Nature - Take 2

This is the same technique as I used in my previous post. This was a card that I played around with to come up with my swap card, see previous post. In this card, I used Vanilla Craft pad instead of the white craft pad, but I do not like the effect as much in this card. There is not enough contrast. I do like the design of the card, so I'd thought that I would show it.

Inspired by Nature













This is a card that I made for a demonstrator swap at my Upline's meeting.

I used a technique called "Faux Dry Embossing". What you do is stamp the image using a white craft pad. Then, using Stampin' Up!'s Stampin Ma-jig, you stamp the color of your cardstock (i.e. Kiwi Kiss Stamp pad on the Kiwi Kiss cardstock). You just center it slighty off from the main image. This gives you a embossed effect. Pretty cool, huh? Cool enough to win me 2nd place in the card contest. Sweet beans!
