Hi friends! Welcome to the latest edition of Doodling with Debby! This month Debby Hughes has made a gorgeous thank you card using the stencil embossing technique. Be sure to watch the video and enjoy!

Hi this is Debby and for my Doodling With Debby feature this month I have a video below using the lovely Marilyn stencil to create and embossed background, which I then emphasized with Nuvo Embellishment Mousses.

I started this card by ink blending Rosie Cheeks, Melon and Merlot inks in to a panel of Arches Cold Pressed watercolor card. I then sandwiched the ink-blended panel between an embossing mat and the Marilyn stencil. The pressure of running this sandwich through a die cutting machine embosses the stencil pattern into the watercolor card.

I used my finger to rub Nuvo Embellishment Mousses in Fresh Copper, Coral Calypso and Mother Of Pearl over the raised areas of the embossing to emphasize the design. To give more sparkle I splattered the panel with a solution of Perfect Pearls and then when dry die cut with a Wonky Rectangle. I added the die cut panel to an Ivory card base.

With the background now complete it was time to concentrate on the rest of the card. For the sentiment I added a piece of Be Creative Tape Sheet to a scrap of Ivory card and covered it with Nuvo Sunkissed Copper Gilding Flakes then die cut the Script Thanks die.

I paired the coppery thanks die cut with a coordinating sentiment from the Thoughtful Messages set which I white heat embossed on Slate card and trimmed to a skinny banner.

I die cut two sprigs of vellum leaves using my favorite Clustered Leaves die and then adhered all the elements to the embossed panel. As a final touch I added Nuvo Crystal Drops in Copper Penny, Bubblegum Blush and Ivory Seashell.

Thanks for joining me today and I’ll see you next time for Doodling With Debby!

Hi everyone!! Happy Saturday. I hope you’re finding a little bit of time for some crafting today!

I’ve just discovered a very unique stamp and layering die set that I think you’ll like. This Sunshine stamp comes from Stamplistic. It has two different dies that coordinates with it. One is a single detail die that cuts out areas within the image. The other is a set of 9 layering dies that cuts pieces that can be stacked back together.

I chose to use the Sunshine stamp with the layering dies, where I’ve silver embossed the stamp image 3 times onto watercolor cardstock. I cut out my layers to where I had an outside, center and then the detail of the sun.

To color my pieces, I used Tim Holtz Oxide inks in Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap, Walnut Stain, Iced Spruce, Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers. After applying the ink, I spritzed with a bit of water to get an aged spotty look.

I filmed a video of how I created this card which you can view below or on our YouTube Channel HERE!
