Whitewashed Magnolia

I took the design from my Golden Magnolia card from a few weeks ago and flipped it 90 degrees to make a landscape version.

Just like the Golden Magnolia version, I heat embossed the magnolia image from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set with gold embossing powder.  I used the white craft ink to 'whitewash' the image this time and added a touch of Rococo Rose ink in the centre.  You can see this technique in the annual catalogue on page 121.

I used the decorative die from the Perfect Parcels die set to add some extra dimension to the card along with the sentiment label from the same set.

Here's a close up of the card.

Tip: For successful heat embossing you should prepare your card stock first by rubbing the embossing buddy over the card stock.  This helps prevent stray bits of embossing powder from sticking to your project.

Golden magnolia card

Here's one of the cards we'll be making at next week's technique class featuring heat embossing.

I just love watching the magic happen with heat embossing.  This card was made by stamping the Magnolia flower from the Stampin' Up! Good Morning Magnolia stamp set in Versamark ink, adding the gold embossing powder and using the heat tool to turn the powder into beautiful gold embossing.

Watercoloured magnolia card

I've been really enjoying using the Stampin' Up! Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and co-ordinating Magnolia Memory dies.

For this card I decided to heat emboss the stamped image with white embossing powder and then watercoloured it featuring the new Rococo Rose ink.  I kept the colouring light rather than full strength to create a delicate look.  A little piece of scallop lace trim under the sentiment added a vintage touch.
