White embossing on patterned papers and a giveaway

Just recently a lovely friend from the Hero Arts Flickr gallery sent me a gorgeous paper pad from Prima Marketing, called Botanical. I had been looking for these papers everywhere and found out that shipment from the USA had tripled in the bygone months! I had accepted not to buy them at such a high price and wait until I could find them nearer home. 



This is the first card I made with one of the papers and found out that white embossing  was really effective. I stamped the Postcard Tag stamp directly to the paper and also the Lupine flower in the middle. After embossing I stamped a couple of postmarks and adhered three dragonflies to the center of the flower.


Stamped directly to the patterned paper with the design block Silhouette stamp and found a stray butterfly in my scrap basket that just hit the spot. Stamped a sentiment, added some lace and my card is ready.



I stamped with the new Leafy Vine stamp from Hero Arts, direct to patterned paper.
I had just pictured how it would look on this paper and I really love this stamp. I punched out six circles on corresponding paper for each side of the card and attached in one go with a strip of double sided tape.
I found this design on Pinterest.

Now I have a giveaway:



This stamp and me don't go together, so I would rather give it to somebody who will use it and have fun with it. I will pick somebody on Tuesday per random org.I will also send one of the above cards with it.

have a lovely Sunday!
Jacqueline.

  16. The white embossing adds a crisp effect...beautiful over patterned paper.
    I can't imagine that you don't get along with that stamp..Have you tried inking only the bird or flowers with markers? if so, how did that turn out?
    Thanks for your kind words via flickr mail on my fab5 win...it was a happy day:)
