For my first card I used a piece of Hammerill 80 lbs. card stock and stamped using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Purple Embossing Powder. I used blending brushes to ink blend on top (emboss resist) using Sweet Sixteen and Cummerbund inks by Catherine Pooler. Technique Junkies now carries Catherine Pooler Inks. I used the Sweet Sixteen ink pad to directly swipe the four sides a 4" x 5.25" card panel with the Sweet Sixteen ink pad, creating a matching mat layer. I cut both the stamped panel and the mat layer with stitched edge rectangle dies and added a few purple gems to the card front. I glued both of these layers to a white top fold 4.25 x 5.5" card base.
For my second card, I used a piece of Hammerill 80 lbs. card stock and stamped using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Black Embossing Powder. I then ink blended using Tutti Frutti Ink from Catherine Pooler. I only ink blended the outside edges with the fully saturated color using a domed foam blending tool. I went in with a lighter touch and less ink around the center of the panel. I found a piece of patterned paper from my stash with flowers that matched the Tutti Frutti ink color. I used that paper for my mat layer. I used stitched rectangle dies to die cut both the ink blended panel and the mat layer. I added a few black gems and assembled the layers by adhering them to a side folding A2 (4.25" x 5.5") Card Panel.
