Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge : Emboss It!

wed-newchallenge-header

Hello!  It’s Wednesday which means a fab new challenge over at the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge blog.  The theme of this week’s challenge is EMBOSS IT!

Can’t wait to see all the different ways to use embossing – heating embossing powders, using pastes and texture mediums or good old fashioned dry embossing!

For my card this week I used both heat embossing (for the flower image) and embossing paste (on the chicken wire stencil).  I stamped the orchid from Clearly Besotted Stamps Thinking of You in Versamark then heat embossed in WOW! Bright White ep.  I coloured the image using distress ink pads as water colours.  The chicken wire effect was created using a The Crafters Workshop stencil and Dreamweaver embossing paste in white.

You’re My Hero: TAYLORED EXPRESSIONS

Hello there.  Today I’m over on the Taylored Expressions blog with a couple of funky cards created using the fantastic You’re My Hero stamp set and co-ordinating dies.  I picked this set as three of my children play rock instruments and so this set is going to be VERY useful for them and their rocker friends!

I made 2 cards using one of the guitar images and that amazing splatter background – I LOVE it!

There’s lots of heat embossing going on and with the addition of a few carefully placed sprinkles (Doodlebug) the cards came together very easily (thanks to the amazing stamps of course).

Avery Elle – Gift Tags.

 Hello!  Just popping in with a card I made featuring the fabulous Gift Tags stamp set and dies from Avery Elle.  I created an embossed background using a stencil from The Crafters Workshop and then die-cut the tags from the brand new Avery Elle Sorbet 6×6 patterned paper pad.  The wee rabbit is from Storybook (so cute).
