Finally playing with some of the new catalog items. The new in-colors are great for summer projects and are a great compliment to Stampin' Up!'s core colors. Warning-you may tend to get hungry when you use them though. :)
Using a paint brush and some Versamark refill, I "painted" areas of the white cardstock for embossing. I decided to use white embossing powder instead of clear to make sure the white really popped against the colors.
After heat setting the embossing powder, I sponged the in-colors over the card. Starting from the bottom, I sponged Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, and then Coastal Cabana. I then edged the piece in Baked Brown Sugar and added a little in the center.
Then I took a soft cloth and wiped the ink from the embossed areas and stamped the flowers. I inked up only half of the sentiment from Feel Goods and then cut it out with the Apothecary Accent framelit; sponging around the edges with Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding and Baked Brown Sugar.
Finally I used pop dots on both the sentiment and the focal point when adhering to the card base. When stamping over embossed areas be sure to use a solvent based ink like Staz-on or Ranger Archival so that it doesn't rub off the embossed area.

Oooh, I really love this background - it's grungey but pretty at the same time! Another one to add to the "to do" list
