FAVOURITE EMBELLISHMENT?

Morning Everyone,

A new challenge starts over at As You Like It and we would like you to share a project containing your favourite embellishment. 

Mine are definitely pearls and enamel dots.  They're not too bulky for posting and add a little bit of extra prettiness to a card.

I have used Pinkfresh Studio washi tape for this card and cut the pieces out with their respective dies.  The sentiment is from the same company and has been heat embossed in gold.  Sparkly enamel dots used this time as I didn't have the right colours in pearls.

I hope you can join us.  Thank you for visiting and have a good day.

FAVOURITE EMBOSSING METHOD

Morning Everyone,

First of all I'm sorry if I haven't visited your blogs lately.  Our daughter is getting married on Saturday and things have been a bit hectic with preparations and we have visitors arriving today so lots to do.

We have a new challenge over at As You Like It and we're asking for your favourite embossing method.  Mine is definitely heat embossing, especially on Christmas cards. I love all the shine.

Not had much time for crafting but this card was in my partly made pile so I finished it off for the challenge.  I've heat embossed the background stamp from Pinkfresh Studio and coloured the berries in with copics.  I've also added glossy accents to the berries but this doesn't show in the photo.  The sentiment is an old one from Clearly Besotted, also heat embossed in gold.

CAS FOLIAGE & BERRIES

 Good Morning Everyone,

I've decided I'd like to make a few CAS Christmas cards this year and, after seeing the challenge at the CAS Christmas challenge, this is what I've come up with.

I tried to heat emboss this Winterberry stamp from Pink Fresh Studio onto some textured ivory card but it didn't go too well so I've turned the card over on the smoother side to heat emboss in gold and then I've coloured the berries with red marker pens.   I have a few off cuts from the pieces that didn't work very well so I will probably make a few more with them.  I have matted onto gold mirri card and stamped the sentiment with gold metallic ink.

COZY WISHES

Good Morning Everyone,

When I won the Stamping Sensations challenge in November Brenda kindly asked if I would like to be a Guest DT for the new challenge which starts today.  The theme is "Favourite Stamps".

I don't know about anyone else, but often my favourite stamp is my most recent and that is why I chose to use this one from  Pinkfresh Studio called Cozy Christmas Wishes.  I bought it just before Christmas from a lady on Facebook and I've been wanting to use it ever since, but haven't had the time.

I've heat embossed it in silver onto very pale grey card and coloured it with copics.  Silver mirri and green cardstock were used for the mats and a dotty ribbon to finish it off.  I will probably try it on different coloured papers in the future to give it a different look.
