The small picture in the above photo is my completed card and the main image is a closeup. I created this on Text Vellum by hand tracing around my oval mask with black sharpie. Stamped the images with black ink and water colored. Used the mask to dry emboss the paper. Added glossy accents on letters and flowers then mounted on white cs base.
Challenges I am sharing this with
TIP: For those with a Silhouette, you can create this picture in a picture right on your Silhouette software. Open the main photo in one tap and the other one in a new tap. Reduce this photo then copy it. Click the first tap you opened and paste the smaller photo. You can now move the small photo around and resize it. Once happy, select all and group. To save, select File>Save Selection>save to Hard Drive. Once that screen opens click on the dropdown for save as type and select jpeg and save. This is how I add my watermark as well.
What a fun card Bonnie! Thanks for the instructions on how to do a picture in a picture, too.

I love glossy accents. Hard to wait for it to dry sometimes because I tend to get it on thick.

Perfect CAS card my friend. I agree with Gayle, the glossy accents really sets off the letters. Thanks for the instructions but it sounds way to complicated for my little brain. lol

All I do is print my name and blog name below the cards using Photoshop.

Thanks Verna, I am loving the new set of liquid water colors I got. Especially learning to mix them to get my just right shades.

Beautiful card. You did a great job keeping the center of your panel “un-embossed” using the mask; your greeting and frame stand out beautifully with the embossing around them.
