Metal Embossing

I've been having a play with more metal embossing and this is the one I have finish today for the Lots to Do

It's stamped on the back and then embossed , I used a texture plate for the for the back ground and coloured with alcohol inks and a red and green sharpie .

Thanks for looking :)

Once you stop thinking about Christmas it's amazing how other ideas come flooding back . These are for a swap on Crafty Us hosted by Sylvia the theme cobwebs, humm they don't show up to well in the scan but I have used an iridescent embossing powder.

I think I mentioned I bought one of these machines well even though I'd lost my mojo it didn't stop me playing with it and trying it out :) and belive it or not I used some peices I cut on some ATC's for a swap, I stuck 4 together so they were nice and dimentional and inked them. Hope who ever gets them will like them :)

Lost my mojo

I haven't posted for a while as nothing was going the way I wanted, think I was thinking to much about Christmas which I have given up on now lol.

This is the card I did at the begining of the month adapted for a Christmas card so unless I get into the Christmas spirt this is what I'll be sending my family this year

A box, braclete and cards

Where have I been ? well I spent a lovely day with Lucy I enjoyed watching her work on some canvas using the tissue paper and she gave the courage to decorate my little box which I took with me :) I've used brilliance reinker and distress inks, the images are then stamped onto tissue paper and applied with modpoge I then finished with a coat of spray varnish

Oh I have been busy and not uploading slap hands :) I've been playing with my bird stamps again all the backgrounds have been stamped with versamark and chalked makes such a lovely soft background.

The single owl (free with an issue of Craft Stamper) was stamped onto paper coloured with distress ink along with the accent leaves .the bird was embossed direct on to the card and then stamped again onto another hand made paper and cut out and pieced on. Hope you like them as they were quick and easy to do :)

I finished off another 2 bracelets and I used snap fasteners that I got from the haberdashery shop,again I have use acrylic paints perfect pearls and heat embossed . Oh and a lesson learnt when punching the holes with the crop a dile make sure it's you haven't got the other half under the other hole punch lol hence the eyelet in the middle :)

love this owl :)

On Crafty Us Lindsey is hosting the atc swap and the theme is to use a serendipity background in autumn colours. I love to do this technique but have not done in quiet a while, usually I cut it up or punch shapes out of it so this was the first time I had used it as a background and I'll blow my own trumpet cos I love the way they have come out :) would have loved to keep them .
