EMBOSS IT!!!!!


Hello everyone: July is here and with it comes a new challenge for you to play with over at THE FLOWER CHALLENGE.  I want to thank all of you amazing crafters who participated in our June Challenge "Anything Goes", we had a fabulous turnout, over 182 entries!!! which made my teammates and I, very happy.
So for our July challenge we want to see some EMBOSSING, heat or dry, which ever you'd like or even both techniques, we can't wait to see what you create.
Here is my inspiration card for this month, and I hope you join us in the gallery.


This lovely Azalea image is one of my first purchases from Power Poppy back in 2014, this set is called Azalea. I stamped this image onto a piece of water color paper with Versamark ink and heat embossed it in gold then, colored it with my Sakura Koi water colors and my fixed Wink of Stella.
I embossed a piece of pink card stock and a piece of SU retired vellum with a retired embossing folder, (I forget the name of this one, sorry).
The sentiment is from the set. I added a few Nuvo Drops and a triple bow made with some organza ribbon.
*******************************************************************
Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.


I embossed just the top of the pink card stock with the same folder, the sentiment is from a retired Flourishes set called "Tulips for Friends"
So go ahead and join us in the gallery, please check my teammates amazing creations HERE, I'm sure you will get even more inspired.

I have always been a fan of embossing (so rich in gold) and watercoloring. Keeps things neat and tidy!

Oh Maria, what a pretty card! I don't often like pink, but this is so pretty, and I love the added gold of the heat embossing. Absolutely adore the sentiments though. This has really cheered me up!! xx
