This morning I've been having a play with my inks and embossing powders. I've used a flower stamp and a butterfly stamp so will enter my notelet into this week's Cupcake Craft Challenge where the theme is "Blossoms and Butterflies".
As usual, the embossing doesn't show up as clearly on the photograph as it does in real life, but I hope you get the idea. (If you click on the picture you can see it better).
Here's what I used to make this notelet:-
Stamps: "Butterfly Poppy" plate from Elusive Images, Inkadinkadoo Swirls, Papermania Clare Curd Sentiment
Colouring medium: Distress inks "Spiced Marmalade", "Pine Needles" and "Weathered Wood", gold glitter pen
Embossing Powder: Heat it Up "Enchanted Gold" and "Holographic"
Tools: Water spritzer, heat gun and masking tape
I enjoyed making this, I like playing with inks, it's fun seeing how a project turns out as I never have a clue when I start!
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I love reading all your comments and visiting your blogs in return.
