Embossing

How's your weekend going? Busy family day today,which has been great. Not long 'til we go on holiday!! I have been busy buying books ready. I love to read,but after work and everything else I spend my time crafting,so holidays are a great way for me to catch up on my fave authors.

I can't believe that I now have 59 followers! Thank you so much and welcome to my blog.

Today I have a card that I made for my Aunty who is going into hospital tomorrow. Before cricut I used to stamp and heat emboss all my projects,so this is what I have done today.


Recipe
Hero arts stamps
Background stamped in 2 shades of green
Piece of card inked in green and covered in crystal embossing powders
Heat set,repeated 2 more times and then stamped into whilst still hot
(I am pretty sure everyone knows this technique but just in case...The stamp was inked up with black which helps show it up against the now crystal tile and to release the stamp as it cools)
Heart gems added and to the sentiment
3d foam

Click on the image to enlarge,hopefully you can see the deboss of the stamp on the tile.

I am entering this intoWhimsical Wednesdays - challenge#7 - Back to Basics. The challenge suggests using stickers etc,things we may have used before the cricut. I never did use stickers,just stamping techniques!

Thanks for looking,have a great weekend. Jayne x
