Blue, green & black Best Wishes Girl (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's my second Saturated Canary card, isn't this a gorgeous girl? So sad you can't buy these images anymore. I coloured her with distress inks except for her skin which I coloured with Copic markers. I silver embossed a pathway for her to walk on. I used my Oxide inks along with shimmer water and WRMK next level embossing folder to create the background paper. I also cut up a beautiful black Jasmine puffy flourish from Flourish with a Bling.

Girls just wanna have fun - embossed clothing (All Dressed Up images)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's my last card for tonight, thank you so much if you've checked all 5 cards out! 

I used an All Dressed Up image set and instead of colouring their outfits with Copics I decided to use silver, white and green embossing powders. I used a fine paint brush and my embossing ink refiller - to carefully paint on the embossing ink one colour at a time, add the powder and heat-set it before doing the next colour. I feel it was half successful in the end but I did have to go around the images with my fine black marker to define the outfits once totally dry. I think practice would make perfect so I will try again in the future.



I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - embossing (heat embossed their outfits)

Happy 21st Birthday Tahlia (Hannah Lynn/Crafts & Me image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My girlfriend's gorgeous daughter is turning 21 in a couple of weeks and it's a masquerade party. I found out she's wearing white and gold (the 2 hardest colours to try and colour haha!) so when I saw this new image from Hannah Lynn (find it at Crafts and Me) I just had to buy it and try my best at colouring it to match my friend's daughter. Hopefully you see the image wearing white and gold rather than grey and yellow hehe. I then coloured the background with my black Copic marker. I also used a lot of dies on this card and gold heat embossed on the sentiment/tags. I have a close up below, click on it for extra enlargement.

Red and Gold Wedding Bears (Marina Fedotova image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I thought this sweet image (Marina Fedotova) was perfect for a wedding card. As far as I can tell Marina's images are free to use but please let me know if this is not the case. 

I embossed the red cardstock with a "sprinkles" embossing folder which came free with a magazine then I heat embossed the raised bits with gold powder. I also heat embossed some gold powder onto the banner I made and also around the image itself. 



I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Incy Wincy Designs - all that glitters (gold embossing and gold paper)
Inspiration Destination - anything goes

A card for a Princess (Julia Spiri image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

How sweet is this little princess from Julia Spiri, I just think she's adorable. I embossed the red paper with my brick embossing folder and then lightly sanded it. I used a gorgeous Jack green vine from my company, Flourish with a Bling and added some lovely roses as if it was a vine going up the brick wall (or that's what it's supposed to look like, hopefully you see that too hehe).
