I am totally loving the 2-step background stamp set from CTMH. I decided to make a plain card with a bold focal point and I think I accomplished that. When I started step 1 (the red part image) I didn't realize that it was on glossy paper. It was bold and beautiful but I know from experience that on glossy paper, the ink can fade. anyhow, I had the idea to clear emboss it- so glad I did! Then I wasn't sure how it would work to bring in step 2 (the brown image)- it sort of worked and am really pleased with the outcome.
Then I dug out a stamp I haven't used in a while and also clear embossed that, trimmed it and mounted to the card front. There we have it!!
card recipe:
stamps- 2-step background- CTMH, thank you- savvy stamps
ink- tulip, chocolate- CTMH
other- clear embossing powder- CTMH, cuttlebug, nestabilities
Such a great card!

ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful card! Very CAS and perfect for sending off to OWH. I only discovered OWH during the holidays last year and have made a commitment to send them 365 cards this year. So far, I'm ahead of schedule and still going strong. :-)
