DIGI DOODLES SHOP CHALLENGE #90

Hi all today we have a new challenge for you at

DIGI DOODLES SHOP BEST

the theme this week is

EMBOSSING

this can be dry embossing, heat embossed or both , the choice is yours.

The winner of the challenge will receive a $10 voucher to spend instore, which is great as now there is a 99c section and a reward point system, the images are truly fantastic.

Here is my DT card

I chose one of the 1930's style images and coloured her with Copics, I embossed the frame with my Hougie Board then distressed both the picture and frame to give it an aged look.  I heat embossed the bottom corner using gold embossing powder and a stamp from LOTV.  

The flower is also embossed using a Crafting Companions embossing board, I used Kraft card for the lower petals then vellum for the top layer, I cut into the top petals for a raised effect, I then added gems to the centre.  I used a doily which I distressed and some cheesecloth.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Two for The Price Of One

Hi all today I have two cards to show you that I have been working on.  My New Years resolution was to make Christmas cards all year to ensure I had enough to send out to both family and friends, I am determined to keep that resolution, lol.

I have made two cards featuring two of my H&S stamps plus my brand new Nordic stamps from Waltzing mouse Stamps.  I love the Nordic style and while visiting my blogging friends found just what I wanted and decided to treat myself.

I stamped the images with Momento Black Tuxedo ink then coloured with Copics, instead of papers I used my Nordic set of stamps for the background, I actually dug out my Versamark ink pads that I have had for years and used them for the colours.

I love these stamps so much that you may be seeing a lot of my Christmas cards featuring this style.

My first picture show the two cards together.

On my red and green card I added some gems and ribbon. 

My second card I added no embellishments at all. 

I would like to enter my cards into the following challenges:

Cute Card Thursday - What's New ( Nordic Stamps)

2 Sisters Challenge - Things With Wings

I used an image and papers from a bonus section, as I adore vintage so much I chose this particular image and matching papers.  I have used quite a few embellishments on this card, including die cuts, bow, pearls and flowers.

The first two pictures show the card front at different angles.

My next two pictures show the card as the easel card fold.

I have to apologise for my lack of blogging these last few days, not only as my son been afflicted with Man flu but my Mum has not been well either so I have been rather tied up.  I am pleased to report that both patients seem a little better today and managed to eat the roast dinner that I cooked for them.  

I do tend to worry about my mum more as she is 92 and is a bit fragile.

I am hoping to get around to see you all a bit later so please bear with me.

I hope that you like my debut card and it would be truly wonderful if you would come join our challenge.

Hugs to all.
