Day 2 of the Online Card Class focused on heat embossing techniques. Who knew you could emboss with a Quickie Glue pen? Not I, but I decided to give it a try.
I stamped the image from Penny Black's "Blooming Garden," and colored it with Copic markers. Then I added the gold dots by applying tiny dots with the Quickie Glue pen and sprinkling them with gold embossing powder. Worked like a charm. I didn't intend to cut the stamped panel, but made a mess of the sentiment, and decided that the design technique I used for Day 1 would work here as well. It's actually a better design all the way around. Sometimes a mistake turns out for the best! I added a strip of 1/8" Scor-tape to the edge and embossed it as well. It's a technique I'd totally forgotten about and added just the right touch.
The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's "Friendship Jar Flowers." I love the script font in this one. I have at least one more technique I want to try, so likely I'll be back with another card over the weekend.
