| Heat Embossing and bleaching |
I've chosen to feature one of the gorgeous Hostess stamps called Feathery Friends which I really love. Hostess stamp sets are exclusively available by redeeming Stampin' Rewards from qualifying party sales.
To make this card, I stamped with Versamark onto Fresh Fig cardstock and heat embossed with Copper. I then painted inside the heat embossing with household bleach. I achieved various shades by applying more or less bleach.
The greeting is from the Colorful Seasons stamp set on a label made with the Rose Wonder stamp set and Rose Garden thinlits. I adhered my decorative piece onto a base card of Sweet Sugarplum.
My lovely friend and team mate, Satomi Wellard, was crafting with me as I finished this card and thanks to her very welcome input I added the pearls and the "nest" of Copper Thread.
I hope you've enjoyed this card and I welcome your comments.
