Challenge Reminder: PSC#95 - Word Art!
by Candice
Hi Everyone,
Hope your day is off to a good start. Today I am coming to remind you all of the Poppystamps monthly challenge - Word Art. This month's theme is to make a sentiment the focal point of your card. The card I created for the Challenge inspiration is using the new Say It Big stamp and coordinating die set. The sentiments in the set take center stage and make beautiful bold statements on for your cards.
My card came together very quickly and easily. I used the 3D Blooming embossing folder from Memory Box for my background; which I embossed on teal cardstock and rubbed on white pigment ink to bring out the dimension in the flowers.
Then I heat embossed the sentiment, "You have a Very Kind Heart" on both black and teal cardstock with white embossing powder. I die cut the sentiment stamped on black cardstock with an oval die. Then for added dimension to the sentiment I fussy cut the banner from the teal cardstock and layered it onto the black oval sentiment.
The black oval sentiment was adhered to a larger oval piece that was die cut from vellum cardstock. The adhered oval layers were then popped up onto the floral embossed panel with foam tape and adhered to a black card front piece. This card is very clean and simple, yet very stunning. These are the cards I enjoy making and mass producing.
Now it's your turn to take on the Word Art challenge! Need a little more motivation? How about a prize? The winner (chosen at random) of this challenge will receive a $20 Gift Certificate to spend on their favorite items from the Poppystamps store!

Hi Candice, This is a really pretty card, I especially love the white pigment ink on top of the embossing, I absolutely love this technique, it is so very effective, and a brilliant backdrop for the bold sentiment.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
