Good morning to you all in the land of blog
Today sees the next challenge
at the
with the theme of
Embossing
being hosted by the super talented and awesome boss America
Now I don't do much Wet or Heat Embossing so when I saw this challenge theme, I have to admit I did panic a little, however after a few days of thinking the only thing I fancied doing was some cracked glass effect, if you have not done this it is so easy, so long as you warn people that it is in your freezer or fridge. You basically create your image, coat it in embossing powder and heat it all up, three times does the trick, before placing it in your fridge or freezer. After a little while you take it out, crumple it up a little, and add your distress ink colour all over, before buffing it off again and that is it, just perfect for me, anyway here is my inspirational piece, but do hop over to the main challenge site to see the rest of the amazing inspiration from my sister meeces :)
I made a thank you card.
The base colour and contrast is a soft pink card, I have used some pan pastels to colour up my lace and the ribbon/banner sentiment. I have created a ruffle of ribbon, used my MS daisy punch and a fancy metal corner detail. The lace, corner detail charm, pearls and ribbon are from the Hobby House.
Here is the close up of the image coloured in copics and with the cracked glass effect.
Do hop over and join us for the challenge :)
