Life is Better--#tgifc274

My card today is all about texture:  a textured designer series paper pattern, texture in the placement of the paper, texture in the glimmer paper and texture with heat embossing.

I started this card using scrap pieces from this designer series paper pattern from the In Good Taste designer series paper pack (#152494).  I had several different widths of scraps so I decided to use them (plus a couple of other pieces I cut to fill up my space) in a random stripe pattern.  I arranged and adhered the pieces on Whisper White card stock, then sponged the edges of the piece with Night of Navy ink.

A floral image from Bloom & Grow stamp set (#149229) was stamped twice on the striped piece, once right side up and once upside down, in VersaMark ink and then heat embossed with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder.  

The greeting from Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) was stamped in VersaMark on Night of Navy and also heat embossed in gold.  Both ends of the Night of Navy greeting piece and the slightly larger Gold Glimmer paper piece (also scraps), were punched out using the new Banners Pick a Punch (#153608/available beginning 8/4/2020).  The striped piece was layered over Gold Glimmer Paper and then on a Night of Navy card base.
