MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES DT ..................EMBOSSING WET OR DRY


Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

Today starts another challenge over at


and this time around it's the B Teams turn and the lovely Sue B is our host for this fortnight, and she would like to see your wonderful creations using Embossing/Wet or/Dry.
Please take a look at my lovely team mates super creations they made.
The challenge runs from Thursday 8/6/17 to Wednesday 21/6/17 at 6PM.
There is lovely prize of wonderful stamps  by John Lockwood that Wendy has donated, and you could be one of the top 3 chosen too.
 We all love to see your wonderful
creations you  enter.

So onto my DT card.

  


This is a 8"x8" size card and box I made to match.
I started by painting my card with Starlight Paints in Agean, and Diamond colours.
This gave it a lovely pearlised sheen.
I embossed my background with a embossing folder that I had with my old E Bosser Die Cutting Machine.
I cut out 12 corners in the blue card for the outside and inside.
I die cut a circle frame and added some other die cuts around the inside edge.
Painted a wooden Happy Birthday and the 30 with the paints.
Lastly I added some flowers I made with some of the painted card.
Then I created my box to go with it.

Thank you so much for your visit.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

ANNIVERSARY CARD

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
I really do appreciate every one.

A few of you mentioned using my last card again, but I unfortunately didn't have it back from my sister before she passed away, and don't like to bother my BIL at this sad time.

So onto a happier note, today I have a card I made for my Stepson, and his wife's 3rd Anniversary.
They have been together for 10 years, but only married 3 years ago.
I know her fave colour is purple so this what I came up with.



This is a 8"x7" size card.
I again drew around the largest of the Sue Wilson's Pierced Rectangles Die, and cut out my base card.
I then layered up with the die, and cut out a aperture which I used a snippet of card and double sided stick sheet, and added some Cosmic Shimmer Glacier Ice Glitter.
I also added some corner die cuts to each corner inside the aperture.
The flower is the same die as yesterday's flowers just pinched the flower petals the other way to give a type of Lily looking flower.
The button on the bow is purple, but it looks black in the picture.
Cut the sentiment banner by hand.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE 51...........M IS FOR MARGINS AND OR MINT

Hi and welcome to everyone that loves to craft, and any visitors that may just land on my blog.

Today I have a card I made yesterday for the current Butterfly Challenge of which the the letter this time around is M for Margins, and or Mint.
Now I struggled with this I must admit, as I didn't have any mint shade card.
Good old inks to the rescue though.
So here is what I came up with.



This is a 8"x8" size card.
I edged the card with a Mint Promarker, and then I inked a butterfly stamp with Cracked Pistachio DI, and stamped all around the margins, and then I put dots between the butterflies with the mint Promarker.
I stamped, and heat embossed a flower with white embossing powder onto white card, and then inked the card with Creative Expressions Fresh Grass Colour Cloud Blending Ink.
My ribbon was coloured with the cloud ink also, and it did turn out Mint, but looks darker on the photo.
 Sentiment is a Creative Expressions Stamp.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

The square die, and the corners are Nbus.
The bag is a ready made one which I decorated with ribbon, and pearlised card that I ran through a Sue Wilson embossing folder.
