Winter Wonderland - Embossing

Hello everyone - hope you're having as brilliant a day as we are in Somerset.......... blue skies and wall to wall sunshine.

The challenge over at Winter Wonderland is embossing of any type so for my card I decided to use my Santa's sleigh and reindeer stencil and Dreamweaver gold embossing paste.  When it was dry it was matted onto some gold mirri card and then onto a piece of kraft cardstock which had been run through my Joy using a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder (unfortunately I don't think it shows up on the picture for some reason).  The main card is a DL with some gold embossed holly design vellum held in place by brads.  The sentiment is computer generated and punched using my SU word window.  I've added some punched holly leaves with red gems and a poinsettia flower.  The last touch was the ribbon from my stash.

Right, think it may be time to get out in the garden to do some work.  See you all soon.

Happy Easter to everyone

Wishing everyone out there in blogland a very happy and chocolatey Easter.

Over at Bah Humbug this week the challenge is embossing and after a little pondering about which type of embossing I could do the following card is what I came up with.

I fished out an old snowflake stencil and placed this onto some black mirri card. I then took some Dreamweaver glossy white embossing paste and spread this over the stencil. After lifting the stencil carefully off the mirri card I sprinkled each snowflake with differend coloured Glamour Dust and left to dry. The main card is an A5 white blank. I ran a piece of gunmetal mirri card through my Big Shot in a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder and then did the same with some black card. These two pieces were joined together. I then took a piece of each of these cards, cut them to size and punched the edges with a Martha Steward border punch. These were joined together and placed down the centre of the card. Each of the snowflakes were cut out using a Stampin Up circle punch and mounted onto gunmetal and black mirri card which had been die cut with a Nellies die. The sentiment is computer generated.


Being as it's Easter I decided to do another card to enter into the challenge and this one is a piece of parchment embossed using an embossing stencil, coloured from behind with gems added onto the tree and down the left hand side. A ribbon and peel off greeting finished off the card.

Thanks for looking.
