Embossing Effects - Look what I have been up too today !

Hi Bloggers

I was doing some internet inspiration searching this morning when I stumbled

upon a Dazzling Diamond Dust Tutorial on the SplitCoastStampers Website.

Go & check it out !

I didn't have the exact products so I did what I do best and improvised with what I do have ..

Card 1 : This is as close as possible to the tutorial

I have used a discontinued Craftykids embossing powder - Bridal

I like how this effect turned out ....shown as best I can in the closeup below.
Now because I am extremely fond of finding new ways to use my current Kaszazz products I thought I would try the same style of block embossing so to speak but with Clear Embossing Powder & a very small amount of Blue mixed through I was able to come up with the speckle effect...

Now of course I had to make a themed set ...wouldn't be me otherwise right.
This set I have stamped & allowed to dry. Then clear embossed a sheet. Cut it up , mounted & set with some background stamping.....

Now as you will in this set I had some trouble getting it perfect , I believe this is because I needed to refill my versamark pad...I will practice this technique more & would love to see an effects anyone else has to share.....

Happy Papercrafting

Hide N Seek Teddy Cards

Hi Bloggers

I have been having a break from my computer world but not my crafts.

To refresh I have been playing round with some idea's , techniques & patterns ....

So keep watching this space to see what else I have been up to .

With this cards I wanted to try and use acetate.

I also wanted to use a simple layout , then Jazz it up for that someone extra special.

Card 1 :

I have used a Wood Spice A5 Card from 9879 Card Pack Castaway (30 assort)

4448 Jetstream Bazzill

9358 Card Pack A5 Ivory (20)

909LK Stamp Nichole's Bears Large
6245 Ribbon Brown / Cream 1/4" Gingham

09039 Vivid Inkpad Aqua

72010 Ancient Page Inkpad Coal Black

4540 Aquacolor Crayons
FRH-F Aquash Water Brush Fine

To bling this up I have stamped my teddy image on acetate using Ancient page ink & allowed it to dry .... I have then layered it over the already stamped & coloured image & attached with eyelets. I have darkened the edges of my card using Ancient Page Coal Black & Stamped my sentiment in the same. Then I have used up a heap of my bits of ribbons in browns & blues simply by tying them in a knot & using Glossy Accents to glue them to the side of your card ...

Having the acetate over the top makes it seem more dimensional.

Have fun trying this at home :)

Happy
