Good morning, today sees the start of our April Challenge at Crafty Calendar, our lovely sponsor for this month is
The theme is
'Embossing- wet or dry'
I chose to use a sweet little fairy image, Flower Dreams. I printed the digi onto a square of white cardstock, then used a metal stencil to emboss the floral border. Keeping the stencil in place, I used Distress Inks in shades of pink and green to colour the lightly embossed image, I really like the softer effect. I coloured up the image using my markers and stamped the sentiment. The two butterflies were stamped and embossed onto white vellum. I used a maker to colour the underside after they had been cut out.
The rest of the Crafty Girls have produced some stunning cards this month, click here to check them out!
Thanks for visiting
