Embossing with Upon a Star

Today I’m sharing a card using the Lawn Fawn Upon a Star stamps and dies. 

On the card base, I used embossing - both regular stamp embossing and dry embossing with the dies. After heat embossing the stamped constellations in white, I then ran the card base through my die cutting machine with the coordinating dies in place, but using an embossing mat. Instead of cutting out the shapes, it leaves the indented shapes of the dies around the regular embossing, giving lots of interest and texture.

For the scene, I cut a strip of white card stock and heat embossed some more constellations with white embossing powder. I also embossed a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Upon a Star set towards the bottom edge of the panel.  

I then blended some distress oxide inks to create sky and grass areas. Where the two areas meet, I adhered a die cut Lawn Fawn Village Border. I love to add yellow card behind the windows for the glow of lights.

Finally I added two die cut foxes from the same set with foam squares, watching the stars.

Thanks for joining me today,

Wish Rainbow Stack

I’ve got a CAS card to share today, with a rainbow twist! 

I’m using the new Wish dienamic from MFT for this card. I die cut a piece of white card with a single stitched line rounded rectangle frame. On the inside piece, I die cut the Wish dienamic in the bottom right corner.

I added some rainbow colours to the frame, then adhered the panel and frame onto a white card base, and layered the positive 'Wish' die cut letters back onto the card. 

I then die cut the Wish dienamic from an assortment of coloured card stock, plus another white piece. 

Going in reverse rainbow order, I adhered the letters onto the card, one on top of each other. I then finished with the second white layer. In total, there are 7 layers.

When viewing the card from the front, the letters look white, but when viewed from the side, it gives a lovely rainbow effect.

I added an additional sentiment, from Lawn Fawn Upon a Star, on top of the stacked letters. Then I finished the card with some sequins on the background.
