Core'dinations and May Arts Blog Hop

It's the big blog hop today!! We hope you've got a really large beverage, a fluffly kitten and maybe a few hours to spend with us! Be sure to comment on each blog to increase your chances of winning!

Here is my project featuring a David Tutera die cut, May Arts Ribbon, and Stampendous! stamp set Thoughtful Wishes and Shabby White Embossing Enamel. 


I did a little step-out tutorial using PanPastels yesterday and I'm having fun exploring different ways to use them! I just love their vibrancy and ease of use.. I used the same materials for today's project: Versamark and the pastels, except for on this card I scraped the versamark across the raised embossing. When I applied the chalks the versamark'd areas grabbed the pigment and stayed dark. 

I then sprinkled the Aged White Embossing Enamel (like spreading a pinch of salt on food) over the panel and heated it from underneath:



Then I stamped onto the cardbase where the window in the die cut is and popped up the top panel.

      Very nice. I like the dribble of the white embossing. Also like the bow tied through the window in the card. Nice!

      The multicolored textured panel is awesome. I like how you popped it and punched the little flowers into it and created a circular window for the sentiment. Love it.
