Emboss Resist

Today's card is using the Emboss Resist technique.  I first stamped the Enfrancis background stamp on std white card stock with black ink. The next step was to randomly stamp the butterfly image using versamark than heat emboss with white embossing powder. The final step was to rub pool party ink all over using a sponge & then spritz with a black marker before using a tissue to remove any ink from the embossed butterflies.

I would also like to thank the lovely ladies who are taking the time to leave me lovely comments. At this present time I haven't been visiting any blogs to leave any comments, maybe sometime soon I can get some sort of routine happening & do some much missed blog surfing.


I have one more card to share from my embossing class, it is using dye inks to emboss, I will schedule that post for early next week

Thanks for dropping by.

Cracked glass Technique

I am back to share with you a card we made at last fortnights classes which was to use Embossing powders different ways.

The first technique was as my title said "Cracked Glass". I must admit this was the first time I tried it & I was happy with how it turned out. It was  a little time consuming in a class, but worth the end result.

The Technique involved embossing 3 layers of Ultra Thick embossing powder before placing in the freezer for approx 20 min. When we took it out of the freezer we just gave it a few bends to crack where we wanted our cracks. Some ended up with more some less, we then applied some dark brown ink over the cracks to give an aged effect.


Hope you have enjoyed this card I will be back with some scheduled posts over the next few days to share the remaining two cards we made using Emboss Resist & Embossing with Dye Inks.

Thanks for dropping by.

Decorated Bird Cage

My post today is to share with you a bird cage I decorated using the Butterfly sizzix die & designer papers that coordinated with the colours of my Studio. I did a little redecorating in the school holidays & I had plans of taking some photos to share except the bird cage is as far as I got.
This idea wasn't mine, it came from seeing quite a few cages decorated whilst blog surfing last year.

Paris Themed

Today I would like to share with you the Girls version of the Notebook & Card that the kids created at my holiday class, not sure what happened to the picture I took of the note card set but it seems to have disappeared.
The girls really liked making these & used their creative licence & all did something a little different.

Better late than never!

As promised, I finally have the Boys Card, Notebook & Note cards to share that the boys created at the Kids class I held during the holidays. They could choose either the motorbike, skateboard, or pushbike stamps to personalise their creations.
They were quite easy to do & the boys were happy enough with what they took away.

Anyway the weeks are passing by in a blur now that I am working, I don't even have time to visit my favourite blogs, which I am really missing, maybe tomorrow I can snare a couple of hours.  
Today I spent some time photographing time & editing so I should have plenty of creations to share over the coming weeks thanks to scheduled posts.
