This week Heather Nichols demonstrated using the reverse of dies to emboss cardstock for a completely new look. She also demonstrated how to use both sides of the dies to create dimension. For my card this week I used Melissa Bickford's Flower Fusion #1 die and stamps. When I first tried this technique the die was leaving a silver residue on the embossed image. After searching the Papertry Ink forum I found a post with a suggestion of placing a piece or parchment paper between the die and my cardstock piece. Voila! No residue, it worked perfectly. I embossed the flower on a piece of Sweet Blush cardstock, then a used the co-ordinating stamp and stamped with Berry Sorbet the inside of the embossed image. I then traced the embossed image using a clear Jelly Roll pen. I need to work on my aim when stamping on or inside a die cut shape. I really love the colours of this card, they make me happy. A really fun technique that adds extra value to your dies.

This is precious, Tracey, so pretty and delicate! If you ever figure out the secret to that "aiming" the stamp thing, please let me know, LOL!
Beautiful card. So fresh and springlike.
Love how you stamped the flower in the embossing but EVEN more how you added the pearl! Super cute!!
