I made this card for two challenges today. WT219 - where we were to stamp the same image a least twice. I did that by doing the faux emboss technique. Also, this wonderful sketch is from Midnight Madness - MMSC2.
To create the faux embossed look, I stamped the cross image in craft white on a piece of close to cocoa card stock. I let it dry and then stamped the image again just slightly up and to the left in chocolate chip, which gives it the embossed look. I then sponged the edges of both the image and the sentiment with a bit of close to cocoa ink. I adorned the left side of the image with a bit of DSP punched with SU's eyelet border punch.
This fabulous sketch gave me a chance to display some pretty DSP. The baja breeze piece is from SU's Parisian Breeze, and the chocolate chip piece is from SU's Bella Rose package. The ribbon I used is a thin chocolate twill tape, also from SU! I then finished off the card, by adding three blue dew drops to the side of the image.
I hope you have a wonderful day...thanks for visiting!!
