This batch of "Thank You" cards have been created with the sentiment added with silver foil using the Minc Machine
I also stamped and heat embossed in white the doily pattern at the top of each corner.
I used the Doily Fun stamp set from Spellbinders for this and I used the Misti to help me get the same look on each card
I have ink blended over the card with Distress inks and once I had done that it looked awful. They where on their way to the trash can when I decided to wait and see what happened.
I am relieved to say that once the ink had dried it all seemed to go smooth and I added some water splatters onto the ink then blotted it off with a paper towel.
I was not too un happy with the result. I added in the Ikea Baked dots and they don't look too bad.
I have added them all to a clear plastic card box complete with the white envelopes and they will make a gift for someone to use.
More tomorrow ...

Hi, Christina,
ReplyDeleteThey are great! I'm so glad you waited a bit before binning them, they are all well worth keeping. The doily is so pretty and really pips out with the white embossing. Another success I would say :).
