Hug & Kisses

Hello and Happy Friday!  The weekend is here and I hope your days are filled with whatever it is you would like to do.  Today's make and share is a Clean and Simple Card (for me) and features Distress Oxide Inks, an Embossing Folder, Pearl X Mica Powder, Vellum, Die Cuts, Heat Embossing and small Gems.  

I love the color combo of Distress Oxide Inks in the colors of Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers so I inked up a panel then embossed it using a Vines Folder from Darice.  For some added interest, I mixed some Pearl X White Mica Powder with some water and dropped splashes on the panel.  The water reacted with the oxide inks and left shimmery spots. 

I cut a 2" piece of Vellum and embossed it with the same folder.  I die cut flowers using unbranded dies I had in my stash and popped each one up with a foam pad.  I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, popped it up with foam pads and lastly, added small Peridot colored gems to the flower centers.  The bright white flowers and sentiment are lovely against the inked panel.  Reminds me of a cool dip in the pool.    

Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!
