Project 368: Tricky heat embossed background stamp
On my playdate with Claire I decided to try a stamp that I won in a challenge ages ago but have been too afraid to use. It's a bit flimsy, not a clear stamp, and so detailed that I wasn't really sure how to use it. Claire told me to get over myself and try it anyway.
I heat embossed it in white and then blended over using a mix of muted greens. I haven't blended in a while and it was good to get the balance of colors right. I layered it over some brown and then used a scrap of yellow for the thanks die.
Once she gave me the confidence it didn't take very long at all!
And now as a freebie: this is an embossed purple cow from a new animal set Claire got. Super weird and random, right?
LOL dying here about the freebie, Love the purple cow, but why did we not notice how random he is? Drunk? LOVE, LOVE the headline card. I knew with your mad blending skillz you could get this to work..I love them this newly discovered stamp. Wait till you see how I finished mine :) Cx
