Stamping Inkspirations August Blog Hop Reading Is Fonts-amental

Welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations August Blog Hop as we explore the theme, "Reading is Fonts-amental". We are being challenged to show how fonts can make a difference to a project and also to incorporate mixed media as a way to texture and character. 
For my card design today, I chose to use the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set to create a collage style background with Fall colors. I also embossed the background with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder which has text as part of the design. I love the way it adds texture to the background. I highlighted some of the areas by heat embossing Gold embossing Powder to some of the raised areas, including the embossed words. The gold adds a vintage feeling to the design. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set onto the Early Espresso label punched out with the Label Me Lovely Punch.

This card design was so much fun to create and I love being able to combine stamping with embossing to add texture and dimension to the design. The Very Vanilla cardstock layer was stamped with a variety of images from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set to create a wonderful collage. The Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Fold adds a vintage feel to the card and I used a Sponge Dauber to gently sponge Versamark ink onto some of the raised embossing and then heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. To help bring out the text of the embossing, I used a Sponge Dauber with Sahara Sand Classic ink to burnish over the raised areas to make the words pop out. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Color & Contour stamp set with Gold Embossing powder onto an Early Espresso label punched out with the Label Me Lovely Punch and I added it over a piece of the Fine Art Ribbon with Stampin' Dimensionals attached to the card front. I added two large Gilded Gems to finish off the design and add a touch of bling.
