A Baptism Card...Embossed 2 Ways

It's been almost 2 weeks since I've spent time in my studio...

or shared a card here at my blog!

This cutie has been keeping me (VERY) busy.

Jackson...our rescue puppy...

 has been with us for almost 6 weeks now

and we are totally smitten with him.

This little guy... 27 lbs of busy puppy... keeps me on my toes! 

I did manage to get myself into my studio, though

and it felt great to spend to have some creative time.

A friend asked if I could create a baptism card...for a baby girl.

So I put that little card project at the top of my card making list.

I got out Stampin Up's ALL GOD'S GRACE stamp set

Taylored Expressions MY REDEEMER LIVES stamp set

some IVORY and LIGHT PINK METALLIC CARD STOCK... 

VELLUM PAPER

A VERSA MARK INK PAD...

GOLD EMBOSSING POWDER...and my HEAT GUN

 MFT's MINI SCALLOPED STAX DIE SET...

and..

an embossing folder.

And...this is what I cam up with...

A Baptism card for a little baby girl..

with lots of texture and dimension.

I started out by stamping the cross with Versamark Ink 

then heat embossing with Gold EP.

Then hand cut the cross close to the EP outline.

Next,  I cut embossed the scalloped rectangle and the vellum layer.

The sentiment was stamped next...then matted,

I used fun foam, cut to size..to position the scalloped rectangle

and small foam dimensionals to position the embossed cross...and sentiment piece.

I love all of the texture and dimension on this card

When the card was complete..

I sent a photo to the friend who had requested it...and she loved it!

(Which made me happy)

It felt great to spend some time in the studio after 2 weeks of not creating a card!

As Jackson gets bigger...and past his puppy teething phase

He'll be my studio-buddy.

But for now...his studio visits are limited 

because there's just too much within his reach...

that is appealing to his desire to explore...

and CHEW!

Thanks for visiting today!

Wishing you a wonderful day!

Michelle.
