A Birthday Card for Emma

This is the birthday card which I made for my niece Emma. She is 19 today. The papers are Coredinations and K & Company. The image peeking out from behind is a stamp I got from Dimension Fourth of a mouse with a cupcake. The 'E' is Grunge board letter inked in versacolour Raspberry and embossed with Tim Holtz Distress Embossing powder in Tea dye. Various trims, lace and ribbon from the stash.

The rub-on on the inside is also K & Company, from the Que Sera range.

Crafty Creations Challenge #32

This is my entry for the Crafty Creations Challenge #32. The challenge was to use an embossing technique on your project. As I am probably the only person in the crafting world not to have a dry embossing system of any kind, (yes this is really true people, not even a light box!) I have decided to get the heat gun out and use these great papers from my stash. I have used pink card as my base and layer up the hearts and skulls on a shimmering shocking pink paper. The font is a download from Dafont. The skull, wings and crown are Tim Holtz grungeboard shapes which have been embossed with the base colour and then had a couple more layers of UTEE added. Finally a pink ribbon added to one side.

Knight in shining armour

I made this card for my nephew Max. He will be 6 soon. I used papers from the Once Upon a time stack from DCWV. I cut the image out, tinted it and highlighted with white Sakura pen. The alphas are grungeboard, inked and heat embossed. I am quite happy with this one, although not quite sure if it isn't a bit dark for a small boy.
