SCC2 Week 2 - Day 2

Two cards done in one evening - a record for me!

As card camp goes on and I have a few more cards under my belt, I'm finding my cards are coming together a bit faster than before. Last night I actually managed to complete two cards. I'm in awe of those who are creating multiple cards in such short amounts of time, but for myself I'm pretty happy with my progress so far.

The technique of focus yesterday was heat embossing which I had not done before. I got a bit more inky than I'm used to making this card, but it was a lot of fun.

I heat embossed all of the circle stamping and then applied two different distress inks using an ink blending tool. Not all my versamark stamping was perfectly lined up with my original stamping so you see the resist effect with the white showing through in a few areas, in particular the end of the sentiment, but I kind of liked the rough look for this card so the imperfections didn't really bother me.

I had masculine cards in mind when I saw the colour combination for this week so my second card was also a "Dad" inspired card. I love my washi tape collection so am happy any time I get to use it.

For the lettering, I inked up some white sticker letters I had so I was able to end up with coloured sticker letters that matched with my overall card colours.
