Manly Monday Wishing you Card with a Promoted Woodgrain Embossing folder

I really like the way this card came together. The sentiment is heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Then I inked it with distress ink. The background paper and the jute are by Tim Holtz. The white cardstock has been dry embossed and then I would place a Gathered Twigs mini distress ink cube on top of the embossed area wait a few and then lift it straight up and place it on another spot. Let it sit for a moment or longer if I forgot about it and then again lift straight up.

Two things to note, I have shaky hands that jerk. <ClicK>  The jerking hands has been a problem when I’ve pressed send before finishing or proofreading a text or message. <ClicK> We’re back. Point is, my hand didn’t jerk sending the ink cube flying across the embossed background and/or across the room landing ink pad side down on the carpet. Second, it’s amazing that I didn’t drop the ink cube on the embossed paper. Thanks so much for stopping by. I have cards and layouts to post but injuries have prohibited me from going downstairs to my supplies and my PC. I now understand why people give up crafting if they don’t have a dedicated room to do so. You get I your stuff out and then have to put it away for dinner. It’s really hard to get your craft on that way. Thanks for looking.

Floral Friday Yellow and Gold Anniversary Cards

I’m still recovering from surgery. So, no babbling today. Thank you Faith. I retook the pictures and it wasn’t perfect sunlight so maybe once they are posted on the blog we will be able to see a difference. I did notice this, the yellow sentiment is on a piece of paper that absorbed the ink making it spread out and this skinny font and all of the pretty swirls don’t look as crisp as the other card. Also, I stamped it more than once and I should have waited for the first layer of application of ink to dry before doing that. I think that’s something I will learn to do with my MISTI. Where is the khaki stamped sentiment on a better quality piece of paper I could be wrong but I think it is a different brand of ink. I didn’t know that. I wish I would have stamped the happy anniversary with the Khaki ink because that would have given us a clear comparison of the two inks in the two pieces of paper. But I would like to know if the third picture looks blurry. It does to me. Thanks for looking.
