Group of Seven - Embossing on Velum

Hi everyone, this month Group of Seven Cardmakers are using Velum and embossing (Dry, Heat and Pastes) as the product and technique to try.

For my cards I have used Dry (using an Embossing Folder) and Heat Embossing. The thicker velum handles the dry embossing much better and doesn't seem to crack when you emboss it..

Card #1, Simon Says Stamp Embossing folder, Stampers Anonymous Sentiment. The embossed area was placed over blue card and mounted on a white base.

Card #2, Retired Stamping up sentiment, Stamping up foliage.  The velum was heat embossed with white embossing powder and Versamark ink and the same image was stamped on the reverse in blue ink. It takes a while for the ink to dry. I die cut a window using a rectangle and placed the velum behind. The sentiment was stamped in Versafine Clair 

I hope you find some velum and play along with us.

Group of Seven - Kaleidoscope

Hi Everyone, it's time for the Group of Seven's monthly technique. This month we've chosen Kaleidoscope as our technique.

Jenny of My Paper Epiphany introduced us to the Kaleidoscope technique  when she posted this card on her blog.

The technique is to create a background by either stamping or stenciling. You can watercolour loosely not worrying about going over the lines or by stenciling a background. You then cut it into half inch strips shuffling the strips around so they no longer create an image. I used flowers on both cards unfortunately I don't know who makes the stamps. When you shuffle the 

Card 1- Flower stamp and water colours, Lavinia boot and Lavinia stencil, Impression Obsession sentiment.

Card 2- Poinsettia background stamp, Sentiment Visible Image (no longer available)

I hope you join us in trying out this technique.
