Sending a smile...

 

Happy New Year to one and all and it's time for the first challenge of 2023 over on the Stamping Sensations blog.

The theme this month is "add some sparkle"...remember the main focus should be stamped.

We have the 2 prizes below this month, Highlight Crafts Crown and Glory stamp set and Lightly Fluttered die set.

I had treated myself to this stamp set a few weeks ago and was desperate to try it out. I white embossed the leaves and then stamped and embossed the sycamore seeds in silver sparkle embossing powder.  I then added some distress ink in blue and grey leaving some areas lighter.  I then added some splodges in silver and black (I like the black splodges).  I then added some sparkly sequins to finish.  I am pleased with how it turned out.

Pop over to the Stamping Sensations blog to check out what my teamies have made.

Embossed leaves...

 

Hi folks,

Today I am sharing something a bit different . I had added this embossing folder to my goodies from Simon Says Stamp....I do like leaves and trees.  I haven't embossed for a long time and fancied a wee change.  I inked up the embossing folder with distress ink, I did use 2 colours on each but it was tricky trying to blend them as I couldn't find my brayer.  I then put a piece of card into the embossing folder and ran it through my machine...hey presto!  I added some splashes of the same colour and embellished with pearls, sequins and gems.  The sentiment is from The Ton...which I am loving!

This is a close up of the cards separately...I am please with how they turned out.

Hope you like.
