Make a Wish

I created this card using a design from the Silhouette Design Store, the Diamond Plate Darice embossing folder, a Tim Holtz sentiment stamp, and silver embossing powder.

I hope you’re having a wonderful summer!!!

To begin the card, I embossed a sheet of foil cardstock with the Diamond Plate embossing folder and my Big Shot. That gave the cardstock a metallic look. (When I gave the card to my youngest son for his birthday, he mentioned that he thought it was real metal, until he felt the surface. He must have thought I was THAT good!)

Next, I cut out the tool set design with my Cameo 4; positioned the pieces on the diamond plate; and adhered them with Scor-Tape.

Make a Wish sentiment: I cut out a strip of black cardstock, then inked the sentiment stamp with the VersaMark Stamp Pad. This provided a clear, translucent ink as a base for the embossing powder. I placed the stamp on the black scrap piece and checked to see if I had a solid image. (Usually, I rub the surface of the cardstock with an Embossing Buddy prior to inking the stamp with the VersaMark Pad to prevent extra embossing powder from sticking to the cardstock. In this case, the scrap piece was so small that only a Cricuit Weeder was needed to flick off the excess.) I sprinkled the embossing powder over the surface, tapped off the excess, and heat embossed the stamped image. I attached the sentiment strip to the cardstock with…you probably saw this coming if you’ve read any of my other  posts too…Scor-Tape.

I attached the diamond plate cardstock to the black cardstock, followed by the Bazzill (Tungsten) cardstock base.
