Oh, such elegant colors. We're playing with Pool Party and Basic Black for
Dynamic Duos #66 and there's a Dessert option of embossing!
I chose to use heat embossing for this sympathy card. I pulled out a background stamp called French Script from Stampin' Up! This stamp hasn't seen ink in a long time. When I reorganized my stamps a while back, I "found" this stamp and remembered how much I love it. You can bet I'll be using it again, soon!
I embossed the script background, as well as the sentiment and flower. The flower was stamped and embossed twice so that I could fussy cut a couple of petals to layer over the top. The stamens of the bloom are covered in black enamel accents. This color duo is so elegant that I decided to not add a neutral to the mix. Yes. Love this color duo a lot!
I hope you'll play along with us at
Dynamic Duos this week. We love to see what you do with our colors!

ReplyDeleteSo classy and elegant, Susie! I love the French Script background stamp too - I actually had to "hide" it to stop using it on ALL my cards! ;) Beautiful card!
