Saying Hello

Meet Saying Hello.
 I thought I would play along today with this month's CAS Mix-Up Challenge, which is Layered Stamping with Heat Embossing. I watched Jennifer McGuire's Video of this process found here
I have to say, this technique was a lot of fun to do.  
 I decided to use my Peony Bouquet by Altenew for this card, along with Pink, Red and a clear embossing powder my Mini Misti and Versamark embossing ink. 
 To achieve the pale pink, after pouring the powder back in the jar I picked up the left over powder using my Versamark Ink pen and rubbed it around the edges of the flower as well as in the centre, then heat embossed using the Shimmering Pearl embossing powder. 
Once completed I die cut the flower and set it aside. I die cut my Impression Obsession frame, glued one part to the card base. I then stencilled the leaves using A Colorful Life Designs Leaf Lattice stencil and Twisted Citrus ink, then attached the sentiment strip using foam squares and glued the flower to the frame and the sentiment strip to secure it.
You can see the shine from the embossing which I think makes for a very pretty flower.

I am adding this card to the CAS Mix-Up Card Challenge.
