I’m playing along with today’s Technique Challenge at SCS – inspired by Belleek pottery. The techniques called for inking the inside of an embossing folder with a light colored ink, then embossing the paper to get a dimensional bisque look.
So…..after several tries with light inks (the lightest I could find – which was not very light) I ended up using a grey ink and created this:
The background is done with Memento London Fog ink and a cuttlebug embossing folder. I used Crane’s Lettra Letterpress paper because it dry embossed so well.
I stayed with the grey theme and stamped the image and sentiment, from Mark’s Finest Papers Love Remains set in the same ink and mounted it on grey cardstock.
The floral spray uses all Martha Stewart punches.
Thanks for stopping by today!
I’m playing along today with Impression Obsession’s “Oldie’s But Goodies” challenge – details found HERE.
I started by stamping the main image on neenah white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black in and colored with prisma pencils. Then I sponged the sunset with Memento Dandelion and Cantaloupe and the water with Summer Sky inks. It was mounted on blue cardstock from SU. The base card is SU cardstock as well and the small dragonfly image (also from IO) was stamped in the background with versamark ink.
Impression Obsession images used: #3014-LG Change The World Set

Today’s blog hop features a wonderful postal set called Sending Happy Thoughts. Instead of a card I chose to do a cute treat box – since next month is filled with events (Valentines Day, Mardi Gras, my husbands birthday) there will be plenty of opportunities to give out treats!
I made the box using a beautiful green linen cardstock from MFP called August Greens Linen. I love the look of linen cardstock and the color went perfectly with the yellows of the black eyed susan image.
The image was stamped with memento tuxedo black ink and colored with copics, sponged with memento sky around the edges. The “hello” sentiment is from the same set and stamped in black. The background leaf image is from the Love Remains set released earlier this week and was stamped with memento new sprout ink. The gorgeous yellow satin ribbon is called Bright Sunrise and is also available from Mark’s Finest papers.
