Wet or Dry Emboss at the Alphabet Challenge

 

Welcome to our latest challenge at The Alphabet Challenge where Billie would like to see cards or projects with either wet or dry embossing. I opted for dry embossing using an ef  I've had since I started crafting and a Spellbinder diecut.

Many thanks for all your kind comments on my last few cards and for taking the time to pop in and leave one today.

Anything but a Card

Mary has chosen the theme at http://mmmchallengeblog.blogspot.com/ today and would like to see anything but a card. Let's see all of your wonderful projects.

When I was making my card for the last challenge at MMM, I decided to make matching tags and to start my other Christmas gift tags.

Many thanks to all who visit and leave a comment, I appreciate the time you take to do this.

Stencil Technique

Today's Challenge at Make My Monday was chosen by Nandini and the theme she would like to see a stencil technique. Lots of ideas on Pinterest.

This is something I rarely do simply because I don't have many stencils, this one was free with a magazine. An inky background, the texture paste applied through the stencil, some embossing powder on top which was heat embossed when the paste was dry.

Again no sentiment until I know who the recipient will be.

We would love you to join in, pop over to the challenge site and see the other Design Team makes , look forward to seeing you there.

Snowmen

A really cute snowman trio from Sassy Cheryl, although I'm hoping we don't see much of the white stuff this year. We had a week last year when it was deep enough to make going out difficult, we live 10 miles from the nearest shops and the journey time was trebled. A light covering on Christmas Eve would be lovely .

 Pop over to the Challenge Blog for some inspiration and see the fabulous makes there.

Blue and White

Many thanks to Caz for asking me to join  the Make My Monday Design Team (MMM)  I was thrilled to accept her invitation and today's Challenge "Blue and White" is my first, I would love if my followers popped onto the challenge blog to see the DT creations, and perhaps enter the challenge.

I like to have several cards that can be used to say thank you, or to let someone know I am thinking of them, this is one for that box.I raised the stamped area with foam pads and added the roses (not quite so dark IRL ) to give dimension.

Gift of Love

We have a few weddings coming up over the next few months, so I decided to use a Tonic die I've had for ages and never used and to cut into a 12x12 sheet of paper by EK Success, I wanted something a bit different but am not sure I'm totally convinced by the finished result.

Miserable dreich weather, dull and overcast all day today and the forecast indicates more of the same over the next few days. Thank you for all your kind comments on my last card.
