Embossing!

After a gorgeous week of glorious sun we now have more rainy days due,  disappointing but I have had more time to get in the craft room and make a card.

I love Distress Oxide inks and the blend beautifully, Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade and Squeezed Lemonade make a fabulous bright and summery mix when blended a perfect backdrop to the Gerbera Daisy Background.

I stamped with embossing ink and the heat embossed with clear powder. I then added a small border of patterned paper to the side before mounting on my card. I then just added the sentiment and sequins.

 

I shall add this card to the current Simon Says Flickr challenge "Emboss it"

Looking forward to watching some of the Olympics today, have a great weekend.

Thanks!

My daughter needs lots of Thank you cards for the end of term, she is a primary school teacher and there are always lots of people to thank at this time of year, so I set about making some cards for her.  

Made this shaped one using an older Spellbinders die to create the shaped card and the cut a circle out of the front of one of the shapes and ran it through with an embossing folder from Cuttlebug.  I then stamped and embossed in gold  the flowers from the Spring Flowers stamp set by Simon Says colouring them with Zig markers and fussy cutting.

I then arranged them on the front of the card and added some pearls and the die cut sentiment, also from Simon Says.

 I am adding this card to the challenge at "Lets Squash it" "Lets make some space and bring on the bling"

Also the current Simon Says Flickr challenge "Flowers". lots more crafting today as we have another wet and dreary day here.

Skating Santa!!

I wanted to join in this fortnights Christmas Kickstart Challenge but I don't have any Santa stamps, so I looked online and found this cute free image to colour.  I printed it off and coloured with Zig Brush markers then die cut the square using the Stitched Square dies from Simon Says Stamp.  Next I masked the image as much as I could and blended the background with Distress Oxide ink. Then using the Simon Says Falling Snow stencil I added the sparkly snow effect using Nuvo Glimmer paste.

A close up to show the sparkly snow !  I shall also add this to the Simon Says Flickr group challenge.

Its actually stopped raining here so am off to do some tidying in the garden.  Have a great day.
