WHW Technique - Challenge #120

 

I popped over to Inspired by Stamping to see what the latest challenge

Joanne and her crew of talented designers had come up with for us to try

and it is the WHW #120

WHW Multi colour heat embossing technique. by Irit

 

Hop on over and check what it is all about.

Certainly something I had never thought of doing

and you know how it is - always interesting to try something new.

 

The photo isn't a true colour as the base sentiment cut out

tag and main image are cream card stock.

For the technique I used 3 different embossing powders

  Brown Sugar Green Pearl and Terracotta.

Embossed the fern image from GinaK Vogue Vases

I topped that with a torn piece of irridescent designer paper.

From IBS I added the lace

 the sentiment and tag from Fancy Sentiments & Every Day Tags

cut out with Spellbinder Labels 18

The main flower is from Elegant Flowers

I didn't waste the unwanted mixture of embossing powders

as there wasn't enough to put back in the containers so

I mixed them all together and used it on the sentiment, tag and flower.

It is a shame that you can't see the different colours properly

as it really is quite effective.

Also added a touch of ink to the lace.

Finished off with 4 rhinestones around the rose.

 

That is my first attempt at this technique and for sure will want to try it again.

Thanks Irit for your fabulous tutorial.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chalkboard Birthday Challenge at IBS

Time is running out for one of the many challenges over at Inspired by Stamping

and was keen to add my take to the Chalkboard Birthdays challenge.

 

Had so much fun embossing inking and adding some bling

and here is how my card finished.

 

 

I started with white card stock. then started stacking.

The black card stock has been heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Next the red with white embossing powder and sponged with black ink.

Framed the main image with white card stock.

The Main Focal Image was again heat embossed with white embossing powder

and I added some diamond dust and black pearls to the flowers.

Finished by adding red ribbon rhinestones and a

Happy Birthday Sentiment cut out with

a JustRite Antique Banner Die.

The stamps are from Inspired by Stamping and are

Elegant Flowers & All Year Wishes 2

 

Here is a close up of the flowers.

Shame the rhinestones are sparkling as I chose them

 to co-ordinate with the diamond dust.

 

That's it for me on this one.

Thanks for coming over to my blog today.

 

 





Challenge #13 at Crafting with Dragonflies.

 

 

Again this last fortnight seems to have flown by and it is again

 

Time for ANOTHER CHALLENGE.

 

This time Hilde has made it so easy by asking us to make a card with

 

NATURE/TREES/LEAVES.

 

A bonus for the design team with this challenge we got to do our own thing and

Hilde is so generously awarding a prize for the WINNER.

 

As it is getting into fall over the pond and Spring has sprung here

it is a perfect time to get into the colourful time it is.

Let our imagination run wild.

 

Here is my inspiration for this challenge.

 

I made this card some time ago as I was playing around

 with stamps and various inks to see what effect they would have.

 

I started with a cream card stock as my base.

Added green backing to K&Company Fall/Harvest dp

Various colours of Distress Inks were stamped with

GinaK Fall Foliage Stamps & Sentiment .

Spellbinders Flourish

Added a little sparkle with a gold gel pen.

Finished with Kaisercraft Pearls

and variegated cotton bow. 

 

 Here is a close up look at my leaves.

 

Before I close I would like to welcome 2 New Members to

The Dragonflies Team.

They are Sammy and Wynn.

 

As usual you can check out all the DT's projects on the right hand side bar.

 

 

Thanks for popping in and hope to see what you create over at

Here is another entry in the current colour challenges over at

Inspired by Stamping

 

This time I chose this colour scheme.

 

 

 

 

Hope you have enjoyed looking at my card for the Colour Challenges.

Birthday Challenge at IBS

 

My previous post told you of the Birthday Celebrations going on over at

IBS

 

Again my card is for the Colour Challenge

 

 

and here is another card I made at the same time.

 

I enjoyed double stamping this card inking the edges

and cutting the square background for the embossing to show.

 Happy Birthday sentiment is popped as is the inked floral top.

 

That's it for this one.
