I was seen a post from my lovely friend Cornelia and this time I want to try to make a card after looking a very nice Video from Heather Nichols.
It was from a challenge blog with a name Make it Monday # 135. They show how to make a card using the technique Layered Emboss Resist.
This is the card I made for the challenge, I didn´t used my Polkadot Background stamp, this time I used my Friend Definition Background stamp from Hero Arts. Stamped with blue ink.
The Heart Winged Butterfly also from Hero Arts and the Sentiment is from Paper Smooches. I embossed the butterfly and sponge the Tea Dye ink from Tim Holtz (Ranger) Distressing ink.
The other photo of my card, I can not sewing (and has no sewing machine at home) also I made many hole on the edge of my paper and made faux stitching with blue ballpoint on it. Voila it looks like I sew my card (or not? LOL)
A little story about this card.....
I made this card in a really quick time...it was only 8 minute needed...I was panic cause it was already 23 O´clock and I have no birthday card for my sweet coleague Miss S in my office (she has birthday today). I made it quick just stamp the Cloud stamp from Hero Arts and The Deer was sent from one of my sweet Blogland friend and I punched the green paper...Stamped the sentiment and put the little butterfly in front of the deer.
Happy Birthday Miss S and hope you like my quick card...behind my card is her lovely brownie cake...her cake was really yummy...I have to stop my self to not asking for the second pieces (LOL)
This card is not for any challenge :)

Hi Monika, Thanks for leaving me some love on my blog! Your hand-stitching is great, and no worries about the need of having a sewing machine. I don't have a sewing machine either and do hand stitching all the time!
ReplyDeleteHi Monika!! Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving such sweet comments! You did a beautiful job with the challenge! Love the faux stitching that you did and the butterfly image is perfect for this technique. Great job!! - Crafty Love, Erika
