Boss It at TioT

Our new challenge at Try it on Tuesday is Boss It - so that's Embossing of some description to you and me.

I've used a Geli print and for my background and then heat embossed Lavinia  Forest Flowers using a Stewart Gill Marcasite Embossing powder, which has a lovely glittered effect, but of course it doesn't show in this photo and I haven't had a sunny day to take a photo.  I've used glitter gel pens to colour with a white pen highlights.

The rest of the DT have a great selection of samples to show, so please pop over to the main blog for all the details.

Thanks for calling in,

Romance Mid month at Stamping Sensations

It's time for some mid month inspiration at Stamping Sensations where the theme this month is A/G with the option of Romance.

I've made another Anniversary card, this time using stamps from Lavinia.  I started by drawing a very feint line round a heart shape mask as a guide before stamping the foliage and flowers. I used DIs for grass and sky to create the scene before stamping the cute hares.

The rest of the DT have some great samples to show, so please pop over to the challenge page, where you will find all the details of the great prize from ALL&Create,   just remember, you must include at least one element of real stamping on your project to be eligible to win.

Romance at Try it on Tuesday

It's time for a new challenge at Try it on Tuesday and this fortnight it's Romance, so any romantic themed project will be eligible.

I don't send Valentines cards, but thought I'd have a little fun with this little bird who rarely sees any ink.

I've stamped him against a stencilled heart and given him a heart shaped balloon which was embossed with WOW Red Tinsel EP, the Love You (a magazine freebie) was stamped and embossed with Silver EP.

The rest of the DT have some great inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main blog for all the details.

I am entering this at We Love Stamping Challenge - where the theme is A/G with the CAS option

It's been busy, busy here and lots of extra Grandma duties, but I hope to start catching up at the weekend.

Have a great day, Avril x

Romance for Stamping Sensations

It's time for a new challenge at Stamping Sensations, as always it's Anything Goes with the  option of Romance.

I've made an Anniversary card using a home made heart stencil - die cutting a heart shape in acetate and then using the negative space.  I used Salty ocean DI -( I really had trouble with getting the colours right with this card)  For my stamping I used an old Tim Holtz rose spray, coloured with Inktense pencils, again the colours don't reflect the true deep red.

The rest of the DT are also following the Romance option, so please pop over to the main blog, you'll also find the details of 3 fabulous prizes from AALL&Create, just remember to be eligible to win, you must include some real stamping on your project.

Have a great day, Avril x
