Coloured & Embossed Card

For our craft club home work we were given a white piece of card that had been run through an embossing folder and told to use it in making a card.  I coloured the embossed piece of card with promarkers for a sort of faux letterpress look.  



Also using promarkers I coloured a Holly Hobbie stamp and cut it out with a scalloped oval die, and inked the edges using the die as a stencil.


Three different floral papers were cut to size stuck on a 6x6 kraft card blank and stitching drawn around the edges.

The three embellishments in the bottom right corner are made using the Melting Pot, small cookie cutters were placed over patterned paper and clear utee was poured into the cutter.  I think I poured a bit too much in as its quite thick, also as the utee had been in the Melting Pot for quite a while it has yellowed.

Just a quick tip for the Melting Pot (or maybe its only me that's daft enough to have this problem), don't pour all your left over utee into a tall cookie cutter, because its really hard to get out once it cools down!
