Teals, Aquas & Blues...Oh My! | April Challenge + March Winner with Tasha

Hey crafty people!

Welcome to a new month and a new challenge here at WOW! Embossing Powder.
We are so happy and excited to announce the winner of last month's challenge and therefore the May Guest Designer spot, and we will also be having a teensy shake up of the challenge prize. (*Details below.)

As always, I have created a card as inspiration for this month's challenge theme and I have a video for that, which you can catch here.

So we are celebrating all things blue, teal & aqua with this challenge; think colours of the sea!

Our Creative Director over here at WOW is the wonderful Marion Emberson, and it is no secret that she LOVES Teal, so we want you to go all out this month and shower Marion with beautiful, teal, blue & aqua goodness!

(You can check out Marion's socials here.)

Creating A Background..

I used the Layered Hearts stamp set from WOW, a mix of embossing powders and Catherine Pooler Inks to create a random patter on hearts across my background.

Although I stamped it onto an a2 panel, I made sure to stamp some of my hearts off the edge of the panel; this just rounds the design out a bit more and makes it appear as though this is a panel that is cut from a larger piece of patterned paper.

Catherine Pooler inks: Something Borrowed, Suede Shoes, Cummerbund, All That Jazz and Juniper Mist.

Embossing Powders: In The Navy, Glassy Ocean, Halo, Clear and Totally Teal

Stamp Set: Layered Hearts - WOW! Embossing Powder

I created my own glitter cardstock, by pressing my Ultra Slow Drying ink pad into a piece of Neenah 80lb and embossing it with Totally Teal Embossing Glitter.
Then I cut the Large Paper Hugs sentiment die from Time For Tea Designs out of it. To step up this sentiment even more, I added 3 layers of clear embossing powder over the top of each letter; this makes them look like some sort of enamel embellishments.

I added the shadow layer for the die from Vellum; this is my favourite way of making a sentiment stand out against a busy background, without covering up the background completely!

March Challenge Winner

This month's winner was especially difficult to choose, given the number of seriously AH-MAY-ZING entries we got from you guys!!!
