You brighten my day @ CardNation - technique test

Hi there! I have played with few techniques and came out with two cards. This one  was done by stamping the sentiments and silhouette first before the background. For the background, I have used HeroArts Antique flower background stamped with versamark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. 

The other technique (below in blue) was doing the background first with heat emboss and later the stamping. The former technique gives out clearer stamping quality as compared to the latter. These photos were taken through a camera phone, so, apologise for the quality. These 2 cards are just a test on different techniques to card making.

For these cards, I have used:

Stamps: HeroArts S5264 Antique Flower Background, HeroArts LP195 Three Silhouettes & HeroArts CL278 Great Flourishes Messages

Tape: American Crafts

Ink: Versamark and Memories

Pearls: Queen & Co.

Rhinestones: Kaisercraft

TFR&L! Ciao!
