I like to have a few quick and easy card making recipes up my sleeve for those occasions when I'm a bit pressed for time. Similar to the card I showed you last month, this one also uses an all over stamping design, but with heat embossing to add contrast, rather than colour.
1. You'll need an A5 card base (I used kraft), a 10cm x 14.3cm piece of contrasting cardstock (I used white), and a 9.7cm x 14cm piece of the same cardstock you used for the base. You'll also need a stamp, Versamark stamp pad, and white embossing powder.
2. Stamp and heat emboss your image on the 9.7cm x 14cm piece of cardstock. I recommend placing it in one of the four corners of your cardstock - top right, top left, bottom right, or bottom left. As you can see from the photo below, I chose the bottom right.
3. Now choose an ink pad that is similar in colour to your card base. I'm using Desert Sand by Memento, which is the closest colour I have to my kraft cardstock. (NOTE: If you don't have a matching ink pad, you can use clear Versamark ink. You'll need to dry it with a heat gun or emboss with clear powder)
4. Working outward from the embossed image, stamp using the matching ink pad. Turn the stamp so that it looks different each time you make an impression. Allow the image to extend beyond the edges of the panel.
5. Now secure the stamped panel to the white cardstock, and then onto your card base.
6. Finish with a sentiment and embellishments of your choosing.
