Embossing

Please don't forget our rules and good luck - the challenge ends on Sunday 31 March at 12noon GMT!  The winner of the challenge will win a copy of the Picknix 1 CD!  Now onto some wonderful samples from the Design Team!

Ruth:  I've gone for double embossing, cute and Easter all at the same time!  The pink and blue papers are from the very versatile Candy Doodles cd which I turn to time and time again as I love the soft colours!

Margaret...for this challenge I have used the beautiful papers from the cd Sugarplum Daisy the shaped card is cut with spellbinder dies, and the flowers,swirls and leaves cut and embossed  using Marrianne dies, inked with distress inks and the embossed sentiment has been done with cosmic shimmer mica powders...and a little bit of bling added.

Anjie - For this weeks card I have used an image and papers from the Pretty Tuff CD. The image is coloured with ProMarkers. For my embossing I've used a birthday embossing folder and strip. I've used co-ordinations card and sanded off the top. I've added a couple of paper clips and some faux stitching around the edge

                   

Pinky - For my card I used this adorable Bunny image from the Cherryblossom Lane Cd. The image has been coloured with promarkers. The papers have all been embossed using a freebie butterfly embossing folder and another folder I got from a lovely blogger friend. All has been matted onto some silver mirri paper and finished with a piece of pink and silver ribbon from my stash.

Clare - This week I decided to make a flower pot card using the sentiment and beautiful flowers from the All Around & Everywhere CD. I have used Kraft card which I have embossed with a folder on the flower pot and on the inside greeting card. I have added Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink Pad to my card and brown buttons and twine to the flowers. 

Kitty - For my card I have used one of the Time For Tea Digi's called Heart Balloon. I teamed her up with papers from Gingerbread Twist CD and i embossed the flower with a swiss dot embossing folder. :) 

Shell- For my card this week I have used Papers and image from Pretty Tuff CD, the image has been coloured with my copics....I have embossed a panel with a stars embossing folder and added a few star die cuts to finish.

JAN:  I have used the gorgeous 'Cherryblossom Lane CD' for my card this week and couldn't resist this little guy in his umbrella boat, which I coloured with my Promarkers. The background paper and sentiment are also from the CD and I chose to include dry embossing as part of the background.

Kim : For my card I've used the Back to Nature cd - just love those swirly peacock feathers! The tag is from the cd and I've added a sentiment, with eyelets punched through and ribbon threaded. I've added an embossed panel and some mulberry paper flowers. 

Anne - this week I've used papers from the Candy Doodles CD and one of the Time for Tea Deaigns digital stamps exclusive to Polka Doodles.  I've kept it plain and simple with just an embossed border, some twine and a little butterfly charm.

                          

Good luck with the challenge and don't forget our rules - closing date is 12noon GMT Sunday 31 March.
