Handmade Flowers

Hello everybody, and a warm welcome to new member, Sandie.

I've made this card for Creative Card Crew, Challenge 34 - Handmade flowers. Inspiration is from Inkspirational which is a sketch challenge this week.

I used an old Martha Stewart punch and white card to punch the flowers, shaped using an embossing tool on an embossing/paper piercing mat and coloured them with some TH ink and an aqua brush.

Would also like to enter this as a second entry in Crafts 4 Eternity - flowers.

Thank you so much for looking in!

Dynamic Duos #48 and Creative Card Crew Challenge 33

Hi everyone, the colour combination at Dynamic Duos this week reminds me of summer skies.

To make my card, I've used SU embossing folder, card and markers, Memory Box balloon and cloud dies and papers by Pink Petticoat. 

Also for Creative Card Crew Challenge 33 - Clouds. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you are having some sunshine!

Blue and white

Hi everyone, one of my favourite techniques at the moment is to stamp and heat embossing with embossing powder and then sponge ink over the top of the image.

To make this card, I first made the snowflake background by stamping a snowflake (Penny Black) several times and heat embossing with white embossing powder and using a Ranger distress tool to ink over the top with Ranger Faded Jeans ink.  I did the same with the Christmas tree stamp (IndigoBlu) and the word "Christmas" (Penny Black).  The word "happy" was made with little punched circles and an alphabet stamp set.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Speedy Fox and Friends challenge 125 to make a card using a favourite technique

Creative Card Crew challenge 19 to make a card with a TREE

Artful Times challenge 13 to make something featuring a TREE as the main focus

Thank you so much for looking!
