Embossing at Crafts and Me


******Do you fancy a crafty get away? I am arranging one for October this year and there are still spaces. Click HERE for details******


It is the time of the week when we at Crafts and Me challenges set you a new challenge and this week we want you to do some embossing.

The prize this week is from Crafts and Me


For my card I have used the stunning Genevieve. I have coloured her with promarkers then inked all round the edge of the picture quite roughly before covering it in gold embossing powder. I have not tried that effect before and I quite like it. I have then also used some dry embossed gold card across the card and stamped the heart boarders at the top and the bottom with a Marianne D stamp from the bear sentiments stamp set (SF1113).

Pro and flex markers I used are:
Skin: Saffron,Vanilla & Ivory
Hair: Carmine, Rose pink, Baby pink
Gloves, eyes and wings: Cool Grey 5, Egyptian blue, Cyan, Celestial blue



I am entering this card for the following challenges:
Fashionable stamping - Embossing
Let's ink it up - Distressing
Crafty Cradmakers - Fantasy
Kaboodledoodle - Embossing
Love to create - Anything Goes

Wow, what a stunning image! The effect of the embossing powder around the edges makes it look like it is melting into the background...a fantastic technique!
