Layering Clear Embossing Over Distress Ink for a Subtle Background

You're a Star Card by Jess Gerstner featuring Lawn Fawn Starry Backdrops Word Dies So Jelly and Stitched Borders

Hello crafty friends! It's Jess and today I have a card featuring some fun ink blending with embossing layered on top and the Lawn Fawn stitched borders for added interest. I really like how the stitched border can add a layer of texture to make the white space on a card more interesting. For more on how I achieved this look check out my video.


As discussed in the video I added some distress ink after masking off the stitched area with some tape. I love how the Starry Backdrops looked layered on the blending and how it gave me another way to use that fun scripty sentiment from So Jelly. This would be fun to create with any of the backdrops and word dies you happen to own.
