Hey friends! I have a new cardmaking video to share with you today featuring an embossed card created with Distress Oxide Ink Sprays. I had so many questions about the background on THIS CARD I shared last week, I thought it would be fun to create a simpler version – this time without the Copic-colored flowers.
For the focal point, I used the beautiful Heart Wreath from the recent Simon Says Stamp Heart to Heart release, and in the video, I walk you through how to use Distress Oxide Ink Sprays to add color and depth and gold embossing to highlight the embossed panel.
and yes….a quick personal note.
I know it’s been a little while since I’ve posted a video. After dealing with ongoing issues with Adobe, I finally. (after 18 years), made the switch to Filmora for video editing – and wow! I’m kicking myself for not changing sooner! After editing this video, I can say the program is incredibly easy to use and, best of all, it just works. If you enjoy video editing (or don’t enjoy – as in my case), I highly recommend giving Filmora a try (and it’s WAY cheaper too).
Thanks so much for your patience and support, and I hope you enjoy the video!
