I have entered this card into the CTC019 challenge.
I made this card for a very special occasion - the very well-deserved title advancement of my gorgeous team member, Satomi, to Silver! I'm so excited for her! So the card HAD to feature plenty of silver!
 |
| The heart is from the Love Notes Framelits dies and is attached with a Stampin' Dimensional |
To make the medallion, I cut a spare piece of cardstock with one of the Layering Ovals dies (any old cardstock will do!) and gave it several layers of silver embossing (I think it may have been 4 or 5). Then, while the final layer was still soft and warm, I inked up my stamp with Stazon ink and impressed it into the embossing. It's not really necessary to use ink for this technique, but I wanted to make sure the words were legible.

| There's lots of movement and dimension in this card |
From the side, it's possible to see that I left the top part of the Star Blast die cut loose to create some dimension and for even more dimension, the medallion is attached with foam.
 |
| This combination of sentiments said exactly what I wanted to express |
I combined sentiments from a few stamp sets to create the greeting on the inside of the card: The "Congratulations" is from the free Sale-A-Bration set Any Occasion, "Wahoo" is from Birthday Blast (available with the Star Blast Edelit as a bundle to save 10%) and "So Happy For You" is from the Beautiful You stamp set.
Thank you for your visit.
'Til next time!

DeleteThis is a wonderful card for Satomi, I'm sure she'll love it! I haven't heard of this technique before with leaving the stamp impression in the heat emboss, what a great idea! Thank you for entering your creation into Case This Card this week! xx
