Susan: I have used Eden Blossoms coloured with Promarkers. My embossing is the backing done with Birds and Swirls embossing folder and also the flowers have been stamped onto vellum and embossed
Jackie:
... and the Design Team have been working hard too - here are their fabulous makes for the start of this new challenge.
Penny - with the beautiful pre-coloured image from the Serenity Collection - Serenity Joyful. She is also an uncoloured Digi image. The Collection as always has stunning digital papers and sentiments. I printed on glossy to allow the colours to really pop. Our theme is Embossing and I chose to use both dry embossing with folders and embossing paste with a stencil and Whipped Spackle Paste. The coloured image allowed me to make this card up really swiftly.
Asha - My card features a fairy from the sweet Serenity Fairy Collection. She's called Serenity Blossom and is also available as a separate download. I coloured her with Polychromo pencils. The patterned paper is from the Work and Play 10: Country Life Collection. I dry embossed it and inked it to make the swirly design stand out. The ticket tag is from the Serenity Fairy Collection. To finish I added Stickles and bling.
Scatty Jan - For my Embossing card I have used the lovely digi image Luna, coloured with Graph'It markers and a couple of Polychromo also using the White shake it Graph'It pen. I have embossed a tag using a butterfly folder and used distress ink over it. The papers I have used are the Distressed wood printables that I have also ink distressed the edges to match the colours used. Finished off with ribbon, flowers, gems and bling.
Cheremane - For my inspiration this time I've used the beautifully stunning Serenity Fairy Wishes Collection. I have used the pre-coloured Serenity Joyful Digi as my main image. For my embossing I have used an embossing folder on the butterfly edge and sanded it back for tone and then added frantage embossing powder for detail too. I have also embossed my die cut frame. The papers and sentiment are all from the Serenity Fairy Wishes Collection as well. Such a stunning collection and so easy to work with.
