Hello again everyone...
Heather back with a make completely out of my colour comfort zone as I don't usually do delicate and pale... I'm more of a 'in your face' kinda maker!
It's good to challenge yourself sometimes though and so I picked three acrylic paints for the background and just gently swiped the colours around using a palette knife and added some hints of gold using my finger.
Over the background, I used Wow's Sexi-Hexi stamp (and huge apologies as I think it is now discontinued - arghhh!) with their Vintage Romance powder just for some delicate texture.  You could of course use any Wow stamp... French Music or Go Figure would work equally as well.
I then chose a gorgeous Aall & Create A4 stamp, Blossomed Numbers by Tracy Evans,  to cover the background as I wanted a textural look but not obviously textural (you have to look a bit deeper!)  I chose another of the vintage powder, Vintage Champagne, as it has a beautiful subtle twinkle to it and  just l…

I love a bit of theatre, who doesn't now and again? Christmas is made for theatre and drama I think and this gorgeous stamp soon to be available to buy, by our own Karen is full of flamboyance! What better than a dramatic black background, the stamped image and a bit of extra bling (if there wasn't already enough) with shimmery gold.

I'm always a bit nervous of stamping and embossing on black but I needn't have worried as this detailed stamp is a dream to use. Embossed with Pearl Gold Sparkle brings out those details in such a dramatic way and creates a gorgeous finished image.
I sprayed the stamped tag with water and scrunched it up in my hands to create the crumpled effect. When this was dry I rubbed a little gold paint over the surface to catch the creases. Before this dried, I wiped over the embossing to clean it off.

To add a little colour to my tag, I added red Ranger Stickles glitter glue to a few of the details and stamped and embossed the sentiment from the st…

Today I'm excited to share a card using a stamp set that I designed for WOW Embossing! It’s called Simply Sew. I used the November Facebook challenge of Emboss Resist technique for my card.


On a panel of card, I used WOW clear embossing ink to stamp the ball of wool from the WOW Simply Sew stamp set. I then heat embossed it with WOW Opaque Bright White embossing powder.


I chose a rainbow of distress inks - picked raspberry, candied apple, squeezed lemonade, peacock feathers and wilted violet.
I blended ink over the panel. Where the embossed wool is, it will resist the ink and stay white. I then used a small brush to paint over areas of the wool with water. This will remove some of the ink in those areas, for a bleached look.


On another piece of card, I used the Lawn Fawn Just Double Stitching Rectangles set to add some detail. I love that stitching dies work so well with the Simply Sew set!


I stamped a crochet hook and stitch marker with Versafine Onyx Black ink on the panel, alo…
