This card is for both our CAS364 challenge (use elements that correspond to the letters: LOVE), and our TLC573 challenge (emboss resist technique). The LOVE elements: L (leaves), O(old stamp: this is one my oldest sentiment stamps –kind of a stretch on this letter, I know….), V (versamark), and E (embossing).
On my focal panel, I embossed the leaves and flowers in white and then used a “batik” technique, where you fold the panel in many random directions, and then unfold it to give it a “batik” look when you sponge on your inks. It’s an awesome technique, but it just shows a bit in this card. I should have folded more before sponging.

Is this not gorgeous? It's a little different for you, but, nonetheless, it's stunning on that green cs. Beautifully crafted bg. ooooh you crafted the winner in today's gallery, Maura.
