Crafty Calendar April Challenge - All Dressed Up Wellie Boots Birthday Card

Good morning, I hope you are well and had a good Easter and haven't eaten too many Easter eggs.   It's the first Saturday of the month and we have a new challenge for you over at Crafty Calendar.  

The theme this week is Dry/Wet Embossed


For my card I have included both wet and dry embossing.

The image is Wellie Boots from All Dressed Up coloured with copics.
The background is blended with distress oxides inks and then embossed with the Spellbinders Scattered Fall embossing folder.
I did swipe a white ink pad over the raised part of the embossing just to try and make it a slightly lighter shade.
The happy birthday sentiment has been heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Crafty Calendar February Challenge - Add a heart Valentine Card

Good morning I hope you are well.  I'm a bit under the weather, I am suffering from a cold at the moment, Martyn was ill first and I thought I had dodged it but no it's arrived.

It's the first Saturday in February and we have a new challenge for you over at Crafty Calendar.
Love is in the air and the theme this week is
'ADD A HEART'


For my card I have used
Bob from Sheepski Designs coloured with copics,
It's a bit difficult to tell but the white background has embossed hearts on which was embossed using a heart stencil.
The pink & red background is ink blended using Distress Oxides in Kitsch Flamingo and Lumberjack Plaid.
I decided to add a heart aperture and made a shaker card filled with little heart embellishments from the heart sprinklets set by Buttons Galore.

Crafty Calendar January Challenge - Polkadoodles Pickles Balloon Birthday Card

Good afternoon and a happy new year to you.  A bit later posting today as I have spent this morning taking down all of the Christmas decorations.  This weekend was the first opportunity we had and as long as they were down before twelfth night I was okay with that.

It's the first Saturday in the month so we have a new challenge for you over at Crafty Calendar and a nice easy theme for you to start the year:

'ANYTHING GOES'


For my card I have used:

Pickles Balloon from Polkadoodles.  This is a pre-coloured image.
The background is inked with distress oxides.
The white eyelet border had been cut using one of the dies from the Pretty Pink Posh Eyelet Rectangle die set.
The DP is from my stash.
