It is so fun to see how perfectly May Arts ribbon compliments the stamps & fun items from Stampendous! I’ve got a few cards to share!
First up:
I used the dragonfly image from the Cling Jumbo Water lily– and heat embossed it with Fran-táge aged green embossing enamel onto 2.5” white satin! I applied some tea ink to the ribbon to distress it lightly. I then layered the embossed ribbon on top of 3” metallic gold net which was attached to green cardstock. I cut it in half to keep the bulk down.
The gold in the embossing powder looks so cool with the gold in the net ribbon!
Next up I used the filigree image from the new Jumbo Cling Iris set.
I heat embossed it with that fabulous Fran-táge aged green enamel. After stamping & embossing the image 3 times I fussy cut around the image. I then attached 3 pieces of 5/8” jute to another piece of cardstock & attached that to the front of the card base under the embossed images!
I wish you could see the amazing effect that Fran-táge powder gives! It is different each time you use it!
Here’s that same card using the 2.5” natural wired burlap!
Now after those last two semi-masculine cards, I’ve got an uber girlie card to share!!
Look at that Iris!
As the name says, it is large! And I wanted to use the whole image, so my card base is 4 x 8 ½ “. I stamped the iris on vellum, then heat embossed with white powder.
I used Luminarte twinkling h20’s to color the image- love the effect it gave on the vellum. I then tied 1.25” silk around the vellum & added it to the card base.
Thank you Stampendous for your wonderful products! And thank you for your time! I hope you’ve been inspired!

Really nice cards, thanks for the inspiration.

These are so pretty! Ihaven't tried heat embossing on the satin ribbon! Thought it would curl and then fray when cut out! These are techniques I have to try! Thanks!
Wow, these are stunning, that Iris and ribbon are such a match made in heaven, plus love the burlap.
Jen these are gorgeous! i love your use of the gold net ribbon. I love all these cards, but the dragonfly one is my favorite!
Beautiful cards! I really like the juxtaposition of the stamping on paper with the metal and natural fibers on the first two, and the last one is just gorgeous! It really looks like watercolor!
Wow thank you for sharing all the beautiful cards. I am really loving the iris. And the burlap really fits with that card. Nice job.
