My First Mail Swap
Sunday, October 19th, 2008I was talking with a stamping friend who told me about mail swaps over on Splitcoaststampers, and I rushed home to log on and see the Swap Forum. Lo and behold, there are tons of swaps going on, and you just pick and choose which one best suits you. I picked a swap called “Bursts of Blue”. Here is my card.
Card base is Stampin Up! Bashful Blue.
Center panel is Basic Black, Bashful Blue and Glossy Paper all from SU!
I embossed with black embossing powder the main image then sponged bashful blue leaving some white to show through.
Stamps: Baroque Motifs and sentiment from My Favorite Things, Rain or Shine
Embellishments: Adhesive rhinestones and 1/4 in. black grosgrain ribbon, and black brads
Techniques: paper piercing, embossing, and sponging
Tip: Use the embossing budy when you heat emboss or you will get speckles of the embossing powder on your main image. It’s worth the money to buy an embossing buddy :0
Here are all my card, ready to go!
I have a great card to show you tomorrow.
