Get creative : My embossing challenge!!!

Good morning everyone

time for our 8th card challenge

Today

Channa (moi!)

is setting your card challenge

your challenge is:

Embossing

There are many options with embossing. 
Wet? 
Dry?
 Double embossing? 

Use your imagination and use embossing on your card.
 I have made three different options
 but I am sure that there are more options possible.

Here are my cards to give you some inspiration:

Dry embossing, use it as a background on a card 
and create layers :

This card is double dry embossed with an embossing folder and square nestabilities folder so you get an empty space:

With this card i used a stencil, added watermark ink to get the image of the stencil. After i added black thick embossing powder to get the image. It did not get all the embossing powder, but you dont always have to be neat. It gives a nice texture on your card:

Also the background is tissue paper that i took from my spray box. Every time i use any of my sprays i place it in a box with some tissue paper. If you re-use the tissue paper all you colors get mixed up and make a great background. 

This is my prize:

Scrap Africa: Sketch time!!

Good evening all, 

It's sketch time at Scrap Africa!

We have a lovely sketch for the next two weeks .

Fall has also arrived in Athens, Greece ( and i love it!)

It's better to craft when it is raining outside and you don't have to feel guilty 

staying in because the sun is shining. 

Here is my take on the sketch:

This is the sketch:

Some close ups:

I used a picture of my friend Sonja and her son Roan. 

I believe they had a day at the beach in Holland and i made a summer, beach layout with it. 

Using some real shells ( below) and a color combo of green, blue and yellow. 

 Thank you for passing by and have a great day!

Frosted designs: Texture challenge

Good evening all, 

Just came home from work and i am ready for bed. But we received a new couch today and it is lovely, so as soon as i came home, changed clothes and sat down i fell............yep a sleep!!! 

But woke up again to do my post for Frosted designs. I hope you all have found your way to the shop?

It is lovely, Barb and Amanda have done such a lovely job with the store. The store offers beautiful goodies and different kits. so have a look at the FROSTED DESIGNS STORE!!

The challenge is "creativity with texture"

This is hosted by Lydia Wiley

This is my take on the challenge:

I used a lovely picture of my friend kim and her daughter larissa. 

They had a photo shoot together just before Little Vince was born . 

The papers and flowers just fit perfectly with the picture. Soft tone colors, layers of diferent papers, lace, and of course lots and lots of flowers. 

My texture is created with Gesso, Modelling paste and sand. 

I used it with 2 different masks from my stash, i left it white and after sprayed it with the dylusion ink. 

Products used of the Frosted Designs Store:
