Cody on a Scooter

 Hi everyone.

Popping in again today to share with you my latest card.

Such fun to colour, I gave Cody and the Scooter bright colours and backed the centre panel in orange to compliment the shoes and shirt on Cody.

Celebrate Us....

Hi everyone popping in today to share my latest card.

I recently purchased this 3D embossing folder from Altenew and have wanting to try it out but wasnt sure what to pair it with.  So I had a play and am happy with the resulting creation.

I cut my frame 3 times with the top layer being Bazzill cardstock and glued them together, then centred them over my embossed cardstock.  It was then a case of putting the flower cutouts where I thought they looked the best, adding my sentiment and a few pearls .

Double Embossing using Altenew 3D embossing folder - Flowery Field....

 Hi hello. 

 Wow we have been having some scorchers here in the West on and off since Christmas, so hope that you have been able to keep cool.

For my card that I am sharing today, I have seen some cards recently on google using a double embossing folder technique and wanted to give it a go.  

For my first emboss I used an old Sizzix embossing folder from my stash and then followed over the top with my 3D Folder from Altenew.  When it was first done I was not too sure if I liked it or not, but after adding some Palette  Pastels over the top it just seemed to pop.

Supplies used:

Altenew 3D Embossing Folder - Flowery Field

Taylored Expressions Die and Stamp - Simple Strips Birthday

Lawn Fawn Die - Stitched Rectangle Frames

Congratulations....

Hi everyone, just popping in today to share my latest creation.  It is also the start of a new challenge month over at Bizzy Becs, so come on over and join in the fun. 

For my card I have again used the 3d embossing folder from Altenew - Beautiful Bergenia.  I just love this folder.  After embossing onto my card stock (I used Neena) I have coloured the embossed area with Jane Davenport Palette Pastels and have to say that I love the effect it has created.  To set the pastels and make them less likely to smudge, it has been lightly sprayed with Schmincke Universal Fixative.

Winsome Blooms,

Hi everyone, just dropping in today to share  my latest card.

I have used the Dreamy Tiles  3D embossing folder from Altenew for my background.

  After embossing the white cardstock, I cut out the embossed tiles and foam mounted  4 of them to the front of my card base. 

 I then  stamped and coloured  Winsome Bloom from Altenew, die cut them and placed them onto the front of my card.

To create more depth in the flowers I have then glued  Gold Micro Beads to the stamens and love how the centres now pop.

Birthday Greetings....

 Hi everyone, dropping in today to share my latest card which was created for the start of the new challenge month over at Bizzy Becs.

I have had this Botanical 3-D texture fade folder for a while so thought it was time to dust it off and have a play.  Before putting it through my Big Shot,  I lightly spritzed both sides of my Teal cardstock with water to help with the embossing.   After embossing I lightly applied Antique Bronze Distress Crayon to the raised areas and rubbed it in with my finger.  Once I was happy with the look I applied Tim Holtz Distess Glaze over the entire background and buffed it once dry.  To finish the card I added Tarnished Brass Distress Crayon randomly across the card front.

The framed script die was cut twice from Cryogen then glued together to create dimension.  Love how the cardstock has a slight sparkle to it.
