Hugs & Wishes Dry Embossing

Another swap card, this one uses Hugs & Wishes, Seeing Spots, On the Spot BG, and coordinating CB template for dry embossing.

Colors: Groovy Guava, Chocolate Chip, Soft Sky, Whisper White. Take with Teal Craft Ink. I do not know about anyone else but I love this color combo!

Accessories: Circle punches, Circle Rhinestone Brads - Ice, Embossing Stylus and Light Table

It took a while to do the dry embossing but it is a really neat effect in person!

Baroque Motifs Preorder

Life has been busy, in a good way. Finally getting around to posting some of my latest designs.

This sample uses Baroque Motifs and Trimtastic sets.
Colors: Not Quite Navy, Soft Sky, River Rock
Accessories: Stamp-a-ma-jig, circle rhinestone brads - ice, HP hardware antique brass, crafter's tool kit.

I did the focal point by stamping on River Rock, also stamped on Soft Sky and cut that one out to layer it on RR. There are 4 layers on that piece. Took a while to finish all those for swaps!

"Beauty" of Cracked Glass

I made this card for a technique swap. I wanted to do cracked glass because it makes for a really interesting center piece!

Because I used Very Vanilla CS & Glassy EP, Bordering Blue cardstock did not quite match my image. So, I brayered BB ink onto VV CS for the layer under the image and the brad.

The little tab with the sentiment is actually done using the Designer Label Punch (rest of the punched piece is hidden under the mattes).

Stamps: Natural Beauty, Cheesecloth BG, Amazing to Zany
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Kraft
Ink: Versamark, Choc Chip, Bordering Blue, T. Thyme
Accessories: Designer Label Punch, 1/4” & 1/16” circle punch, Hodgepodge Hardware-Aged Copper, Glassy Glaze Enamel EP, Stamping Sponges, Blender Pens, Brayer
