Tuesday Morning Sketches #656

 Hello! Thank you for stopping by.  The latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and I think this will be a lot of fun.

My card features a very old technique posted on Splitcoast Stampers (by Beate Johns) called Emboss Kiss or something like that.  It's where you ink up a solid stamp with one color and ink up an embossing folder with a contrast color.  Stamp the stamp onto the embossing folder and then stamp on your card stock.  This is a challenge with my challenge group I belong to.  Now I really struggled with this technique because one; I don't own very many solid stamps and two; because no matter what I did, which embossing folder I chose, it wasn't even detail to get the texture into the bloom.  Worked great on the leaves.  But here's what I made...

It is a pocket card.  You would write a personal message on the white panel or put in a gift card.  The stamp set I used is Flowering Cistus from Altenew.  The texture is really great and visible on the leaves but not so much on the flower.  The card stock I used is from Paper Trey Ink.  

Here's a close up of the pocket.  And of the embossing folder that I used on the flower.  The scallop border was die cut from a border die from Pink and Main.

I do hope you'll join us this week.  Please head on over to the TMS blog, leave some love for the team and then make your own interpretation of the sketch.
