It's October already and Autumn has well and truly kicked in. Here we still have sunshine but with the chilly nights and shorter days, the trees are showing their Autumn colours. I love this season for crafting as the colours are so rich and inspiration is everywhere.


For this project I cut some leaves on what I had to hand which just happened to be this Kraft cardstock. I wanted to work with Embossing Glitter but was unsure how well the glitter would hold up againsed the dark Kraft background but I was very pleasantly surprised.


I did find that some of the more translucent colours such as Sand Dunes, seen below, came out totally different on the Kraft than on plain white. You can see the contrast between the two is quite stark.


However, some of them came out better than I imagined. Hot Gossip on the right became a gorgeous, rich dark copper colour and Mermaid Tails on the left lost alot of the blue colour to leave only the gold flecks showing. 


 The results were so pretty, now …

Hello everyone, Erika Taylor here and I'm so glad to be back creating again. Although the process is taking a little more time, the break was so needed and I feel that I've gotten a little more clarity.

Today i'm sharing with you a project filled with love. I used a combination of Whirly Pop, Cable Car and Opague Pastel Pink Wow Embossing powders to create this "Lovely" home decor item. I wanted something that could actually stay up all year long and found this beautiful charger plate on sale for $2.00 for the base of the project.

Here are a few photos for ya

First off a photo of the materials I used. Feathers, a charger plate, wooden hearts and letters, and my favorite Wow Embossing Powders.



a close up of the heart for you as well. I love marbling two or three colors of Wow Embossing Powders together for a great textural effect.


I used a few Valentines sprigs and some May Arts lace as well to give a little more UMPH to the project.
