CAS-ual Fridays #91




I have a few cards today for this week's CAS-ual Friday's CFC91:  Hi Ho Silver challenge.  I knew I wanted to do something either wedding or anniversary for this challenge, because of the silver.  While I was thinking about what to do, I clicked on this card that caught my eye, and I was so inspired by what I saw there.  I loved her use of the Quilled Elegance set, and also her inking up of an embossed image. 

I embossed a piece of PTI Smokey Shadow Card stock with the In Bloom impression plate, then used a brayer to cover the raised portions with Versamark ink. I used Ranger silver embossing powder, and the result looks kind of like old pewter.  It looks really cool in person. 




Here is a close up:


This next card uses more Ranger silver embossing powder on Enchanted Evening card stock and Quilled Elegance stamps.




Last up,  Pretty Peonies stamped on silver shimmer paper, embossed in silver, and adhered to a Royal Velvet card base.  I love the look of silver on silver.




Here is a close up of the flowers:


I am so glad I played in this challenge, because it encouraged me to dig out my silver embossing powder.  Next, maybe I will play with my gold powder.

  5. I bought the Quilled Elegance set after seeing all your cards made with copics, but I think the silver embossing is just stunning! Perfect, simple elegance! Love the old world look of the first card - the keys are a perfect embellishment.

  12. Joyce, the embossed card is amazing! I once saw a tutorial on how to stamp into some heat embossed silver to give it the impression of the stamp, but this is so much better!
