Greatest Hits Embossed Background with Gemma

Today I’m sharing a card using this month’s theme of Pastels. I’ve gone for a slightly different take on the challenge, using a light colour of card stock and creating a clear embossed musical background for my card.

I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Mermaid Card stock. With the WOW Clear Gloss embossing powder, I embossed a background using the Greatest Hits stamp set from Sugar Pea Designs.

I wanted the background to have an abstract feeling to it, so I used the Altenew Splatter stencil to add more details, embossing them with the clear embossing powder too.

Once I was happy with the background, I added some Evergreen Bough distress oxide ink to the edges of the embossed panel. I then adhered it to my card base.

I die cut some records and music notes from the Greatest Hits die set, along with the arm of the record player. I adhered those to my background with liquid glue.

For the sentiment, I used WOW Opaque White Superfine embossing powder to heat emboss a greeting on black. I adhered this to the card with foam tape.

An additional sentiment in the centre of the large record is a fun finishing touch.

Have a lovely day,

Gemma
