Thinking Of You


 

Today I'm sharing a card I made for the current Make The Cards Challenge.

 

This card was very much inspired by a video on Taylored Expressions' YouTube channel where Susan Block was creating fabulous gel prints. You can check out the video HERE.

I haven't jumped aboard the gel printing train (yet...wink) but I thought I could create something similar with heat embossing and ink blending. I'm really happy with how it turned out :)

Thanks for visiting!

Have a great week!!!

  3. This is so pretty and looks like spring (which I want to see so bad). The ink blending looks so well done and the shades are lovely when blended. It's good to know there are other ways to create and how smart of you to figure out a new way to make this card.
