Embossing For a Change

Morning, my card today is using an Indigo Blu set which was a craft mag freebie years ago not been used for quite a while. I heat embossed the images, edges and sentiment in WOW silver embossing powder and a strip of striped paper behind, layered onto white then black cardstock with a thin layer of grey card I found.

Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

Card Swap Reveal

Morning and time for the card swap challenge reveal and 26 cards were exchanges. My card went to Jeanne in U.S.A.

I went with the colour scheme and uses part of a large stamp from AALL&Create, coloured with promarkers, sentiment I received in a previous card swap, background I made embossing lines on cardstock then swiping over with ink pad, script stamp was a craft mag freebies from years ago. Sadly this will be my last card as our local post offices have closed and the nearest one is now two bus rides away.

Cats Galore

Morning and I have two posts today -the first one is for our Small Critters/ATG challenge at A Place to Start. I went with small critters and used my cats head die-cuts in black cardstock that look like my eldest 14yrs old female cat who thinks she is in charge and even bullies my sons and daughters dogs. The dies were bought from a decluttering page so no idea whose they are, the full cat die is an XCut die and the layered die-cut frames are from Heffy Doodle(now closed), the little fabric covered wooden butterfly is from stash and had found quite a few I have had for years -probably from The Works, script stamp was a craft mag freebie from years ago and the tiny flowers were the flower inners from a John Next Door die set. There are also individual whiskers with the die set but that was just taking things too far -then I forgot to add them with a pen! Ooops nearly forgot the sentiment was cut from one of my craft papers.

Happy Flowers Day

Morning and mojo actually visited with inspiration to make a card-well I say inspiration but it practically came together itself, but I did colour the image lol.

The flower stamp is from Chocolate Baroque, coloured with promarkers, the stamped sentiment is from AALL&Create, the die-cut frame is Spellbinders. The pink card behind the frame was a long strip I found in paper drawer and cut it to cover both sides(tip from Chrissy there) The background paper was another oddment I found in drawer from Crafters Companion that just fitted the card, but I did have to cute some black cardstock to layer-see I did actually do some work for it lol oops nearly forgot-ribbon from stash and stencil from Artisan Designs.
