STAMPlorations CAS January Challenge - just blossom

We have a few more days to enter the first STAMPloratios CAS Card Challenge of 2019.




Here's my card with the color twist:




[How I made the card]
1. Sponged the rose stencil with white pigment ink on a piece of Burgundy cardstock and die-cut it with the Linked Octagon frame.
2. Gold-heat embossed a piece of white cardstock and die-cut it with the Linked Octagon frame.
3. Dry embossed the front panel and lightly sponged over it. (*1)
4. Gold heat-embossed the sentiment on the front panel.
5. Glued the rose stencil piece and the gold frame onto the front panel.
6. Attached the front panel to the card base.


*1. Even though I added the subtle texture to the front panel, it looked like it still needed something. So I slightly sponged the surface with white pigment ink. It softened the overall impression and kind of echoed the sponged rose. I liked how it turned out.


Thanks for visiting me today!

  1. Gorgeous sponged stenciled rose with Bravo Burgundy ink, Hideko. I love how you only stenciled one of the roses and added the pretty die cut frame and heat embossed sentiment. Adding the final touch with the sponged highlight was a wonderful idea. TFS and joining us at STAMPlorations CAS Card Challenge Anything Goes with optional color twist:Burgundy. Hugs..Nancy

    1. Whoops...I just read your description again. It was Whisper White pigment ink that you stenciled thru your rose onto Bravo Burgundy cardstock. Such a gorgeous effect. Hugs..Nancy

  2. I love the opaqueness of the white ink on the burgundy and that beautiful gold frame, Hideko! The texture on the background is just the something extra to set off the simple but elegant design!

  5. Gorgeous card Hideko. Love the look of white ink sponged through a stencil on the dark red card. Very elegant, especially with the octagon shape and the gold outlines. Adding a bit of white ink to your card front does tie it all together. Beautiful design, my friend! xx
