Thanksgiving Theme Week- Day 3

Pretty Pink Posh: Thanksgiving Theme Week Day 3

Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather dropping by with a couple cards and a tutorial for Thanksgiving Theme Week here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog!

Pretty Pink Posh: Thanksgiving Theme Week Day 3

For my cards today, I used some of the smaller elements in the Giving Thanks stamp set, and one of the larger sentiments paired up with a heat embossing and distress inking technique to get a unique one layer effect on my cards!

I started off by using an embossing powder tool over my white cardstock to keep the embossing powder confined to only where I stamped. I then stamped my small images in a random pattern in Clear Embossing Ink, then stamped my sentiment over the top with black Versafine ink – THEN, all at once, I sprinkled on Clear Embossing Powder and heat set it all at once. This way you have one layer of heat embossing.

Here you can see the effect – the small images are nearly invisible at this point.

Then the magic – using foam blending tools, add your distress inks over the top – the heat embossed areas will resist the distress ink, and almost magically appear!

Finally, I added some splatters of water and Gold Color Shine for some additional texture, then attached some Sparkling Clear Sequins before mounting on a kraft card base.

Such a fun way to add texture and interest to a flat card!

  1. These are really pretty Heather. No, I don’t send many Thanksgiving cards but I should as I love to make them. LOL

  2. This set is so cute. I love how these cards were made. So colorful. I definitely send out Thanksgiving cards.

  3. Very pretty and great colors. Love when you can use different elements of the stamp set. You don’t need to use the fun cute figures to make an awesome card. The leaves and pumpkins are perfect and subtle.

  5. I love the Thanksgiving card. What two colors of distress inks did you use?
