Lovely & Sweet Collage Card / Stamping With Melva

Lovely & Sweet Collage Card

Tuesday, 16 April 2024

One of my favourite techniques is emboss resist and for my card today I paired it with a Collage card. I love how it turned out with the gold heat embossed image.

Collage is such an easy technique and creates a lovely background for a card. I added the emboss resist image to add a focal point to the card. Lots of gold on this card! The Stampin' Up! Nature's Sweetness Suite was one of my favourites from the Jan to Apr Mini Catalogue and I'm excited that this stamp set and it's coordinating dies and the Designer Series Paper carried over. Yay!
