So I am playing with technique and a stamp set I treated myself to months ago but just haven't used it yet. The stamp set is by Hero Arts. The technique is an oldie but a goodie - emboss resist. I'm still working on perfecting my ink blending skills, but overall the card is pretty and I think is a great notecard that will only need a single stamp to mail.
I stamped the branch and sentiment with Versa-Mark and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Then I used a round ink blending tool to apply 4 colors of Distress Ink. I used a couple of those same colors to stamp the flowers. This is where I changed the sketch a little - the sketch shows the 3 elements as being smaller - I went with them covering that vertical panel. Overall, the card was easy to do, done in about 15 minutes and like I said, will only take one postage stamp to mail.
Please head on over to the TMS blog and see all the inspiration the team is sharing with you - they are fantastic. If I'm not mistaken, looks like Wanda has a different fold on her card.

Wonderful card and technique. Very pretty way to alter the way the sketch is used.
Your card is beautiful Melissa! I really need to try this technique. I like the color combo you used a lot.
The soft colors here are so pretty, and the flowers look great too! Good luck with your printer - those issues are always so frustrating!
This is really pretty Melissa I love that technique and I think you pulled it off beautifully. I went through the printer issues just around Thanksgiving and I know how that can drive you crazy, I just ended up buying a new one.
Beautiful card! I love the embossed resist technique!!
